Kilcolgan Castle was built in 1801 by Christopher St George, who also erected nearby Tyrone House. He retired here having handed over Tyrone House to his son. It was built on the site of and incorporates fabric from a medieval castle, the present tower perhaps being substantially the earlier building. It has many Gothic Revival features, such as crenellations, paired and pointed openings, and pinnacles. The timber sash windows and timber doors enhance the elevation. It forms an interesting group with outbuildings, a walled garden, and entrance gates. It later served as a dower house for Tyrone House.
