Description

Kilmory Castle is a 19th-century castellated building. The central block dates to around 1820 and incorporates parts of an earlier castle. It has three storeys, constructed from rubble with gabled slate roofs and gablets.

The front block, built around 1830, features two storeys and is made of blue flagstone, with some areas harled. It has a corbelled and crenellated parapet and a gabled slate roof at the back. There are three three-storey towers: the central tower has an ogee arch and a mock portcullis that provides access to the courtyard, while the northern tower is square and the southern tower is octagonal. The building includes string-courses and mullioned windows. The interior is designed in the 'Gothick' style and includes an ante-room, an octagonal dining room, a ballroom, an octagonal drawing room, and "Queen Victoria's Dressing Room."

At the rear, there are extensions dated 1863, which consist of two storeys and an attic, built from rubble with gabled slate roofs and gablets. These extensions feature an oriel window and a chimney marked with the date 1863. They are connected by a rubble wall to the square towers with pyramidal roofs located at the corners of the courtyard, which can be accessed from the rear through a gateway with a curvilinear pediment.
