Located in the town of Kyle in South Tipperary, Ireland, on a small island rocky beach on the Sur River, the castle was built in the 13th century and has been re-established in history, and was ruled by the powerful Butler family in the late 14th century, and subsequently expanded and destroyed. Today, the castle retains the main building, towers and original defensive structures, with two courtyards, connected by several bridges to nearby sandbars and riverbanks, and is one of Ireland's largest and best preserved castles.
