Charleville Castle

Construction of this Irish castle began in 1798 with Charles William Bury and spanned 14 years. 1000 years ago, the castle was the site of either a sacred Druid site or a monestary but it's not clear which. One death at Charleville include a girl that slid down the banister of a staircase and fell. Visitors have claimed to have seen her at times during their stay, either on the steps or anywhere else. After the roof was damaged to avoid paying costs as it would be considered a ruin, reonvations have begun slowly on the castle since the 1970s.
