Castle

What is recorded here

Rosturk Castle stands in County Mayo as a five-bay country house built for Robert Vesey Stoney, featuring circular turrets and a top-lit double-height hall with carved timber surrounds. The deliberate alignment frames panoramic vistas across the islet-studded Clew Bay, while polygonal bay windows define the principal reception rooms. Although seized in 1921 and later sold, the estate retains its original fabric, ivy-enveloped gate screen, and distant lodges, connecting two generations of Stoney naval officers to the western shore.
