What is recorded here
Anner Castle in County Tipperary wears a fake medieval skin over an 1810 country house, remodeled around 1860 into a quadrangle bristling with crenellated towers and heavy machicolations. The building pretends to be a fortress while admitting it is a residence, forcing visitors to decide whether grandiosity or deception better describes the result. Its imposing stone towers and carved details still demand attention, even when the history underneath refuses to match the performance.
