Killymoon Castle

Killymoon Castle is situated about one mile southeast of Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, on the north bank of the Ballinderry River. The castle is located above the river with a backdrop of woodland and parkland. The original castle was built in 1671 but burnt down in 1801 and was rebuilt in 1803 to a design by John Nash in the Regency Gothic architectural style.

The castle features an asymmetrical structure with both round and square towers, including a battlemented round tower and turret, an octagonal tower, and a square tower with slender clasping buttresses. The windows are pointed and grouped together under segmental hood mouldings. The castle has significant historical importance as it was rebuilt in the 19th century and is now a Grade A listed building.

Today, the castle is in a ruined state, but the surrounding parkland has been developed into an 18-hole golf course, which has hosted British tournaments. The castle's history and architecture make it an interesting and notable landmark in Northern Ireland. Despite its current condition, Killymoon Castle remains a significant part of the region's history and heritage, and its parkland continues to be used for recreational activities.
