Manorhamilton Castle
Manorhamilton Castle
The castle was built by Scottish Presbyterian Sir Frederick Hamilton as part of the Plantation in 1621. He met stiff opposition from the displaced O'Rourke clan and left Ireland in 1642 after a siege during which he publicly hanged captured enemies. He had a reputation as a tyrant. His army also burned the town of Sligo. The castle was destroyed by the Earls of Clanrickard in 1652.
