| 释义 |
Killeen Castle is a 15th-century castle at Killeen, in Castlegar, County Galway, on the western coast of Ireland. It was built in 1493 by the Blake Family, one of the 14 Galway tribes, and became until the 19th century an estate of over {{convert|100|acre|km2}} with a farmhouse attached to the main towerhouse and a gatehouse on the N17 and a large house on the hill up from the gatehouse, which was burned down like many big houses in 1922. After that it was purchased a farmer from Tuam who was managing the estate. The castle was then sold by his son in the 1980s to musician Alec Finn. In the 1990s he then sold the castle to Ralph Christians, a German filmmaker. Since then the castle has been extended and made into a family home.
