What is recorded here
Old Glin Castle stands in County Limerick, a castle whose name still carries the weight of rivers and stone. Nothing else is recorded here, but the gap itself invites imagination: perhaps it watched boat traffic, sheltered families, or vanished under reeds and time. The castle keeps what it keeps. A place can be small in fact and large in life, remembered through shape, silence and the risk of losing its name.
Old Glin Castle is recorded as a castle in County Limerick. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Old Glin Castle was built by the Fitzgeralds, the Geraldine dynasty, in the 15th century and later held by the O'Donohue family. It is important as a well-preserved example of a tower house and as a historical seat associated with the Gaelic aristocracy of west Limerick.
