What is recorded here
Knigh Castle is a medieval tower house in North Tipperary, Ireland, where a four-storey limestone angle tower still rises above pasture on an old earthen mound. Its thick walls, barrel vault, garderobes and mixed windows suggest a defended Anglo-Norman home, yet no doorway has been found, leaving the main entrance to imagination. The missing gate may have been hidden, blocked or lost, but the tower still stands as a sharp reminder that even ruined places keep secrets they refuse to explain.
Knigh Castle is recorded as a castle in County Tipperary. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Knigh Castle was built in the 13th century by the Fitzgerald family, also known as the MacGillapatricks, who were prominent Anglo-Norman lords in Munster. The castle is remembered as part of the extensive network of defensive structures that supported the Fitzgeralds' control over the region during the medieval period.
