MenuAugher Castle, Tyrone
Augher Castle (aka Spur Royal Castle) is a 19th-century Gothic Mediæval Revival style country house outside the village of Augher, County Tyrone. It was originally a square, three-storey Plantation castle, with a peculiar triangular tower in the middle of each of its sides. It was built around 1615 by Sir Thomas Ridgeway, Earl of Londonderry, on the site of an older fortress. The castle was burnt in 1689 by the Jacobites. It was restored in 1832 by Sir James Richardson-Bunbury, 2nd Baronet, to a design by William Warren, who added two castellated wings. The house is within the council area of Mid Ulster.
