Castle Townshend has been the seat of the Townshend family in Ireland for many generations. The centre part was built around 1650. The original Castles were destroyed in the 17/18th Centuries.

It stands in spacious grounds facing southeast, overlooking the peaceful waterfront of Castletownshend harbour.
