About

Temple House is a Georgian mansion set in an estate of over 1,000 acres (400 ha). It overlooks the lakeside ruins of a castle formerly of the Knights Templar, and is now a country guest house. Originally built c. 1825, it was substantially extended and embellished c. 1864.

Templehouse Castle (Irish: Caisleán) was a rectangular keepless castle, built in 1181 near the townland of Ballinacarrow on the outskirts of Ballymote in south County Sligo, Ireland.
