Parke's Castle

Parke's Castle is a 17th-century Manor house. It was originally known as Newtowne and is situated on the shore of Lough Gill, County Leitrim, Ireland.

Parke's Castle was built on the site of an earlier 16th century O'Rourke tower house. The Gaelic tower house and bawn had been confiscated by The English Crown, following the execution of its last owner, Brian O'Rourke. Subsequently, the site was leased and renovated by Captain Robert Parke in the 1630s. Parke had been granted some of the former O'Rourke lands as part of the Plantations.
