What is recorded here

Castle Bernard stands in County Cork as a ruined castellated house built for Francis Bernard, the first earl of Bandon, in 1798. Gothic turrets and arrow-loops now mask its classical bones, while the attached medieval tower house of the O'Mahoney clan adds older shadow to the estate. Burnt in 1921 as a symbol of British occupation, it still looms above its garden pond, preserving the wealth and pride of the demesne in broken stone.
