MenuNewtownstewart Castle, Tyrone
Newtownstewart Castle is a ruined 17th-century castle in the townland and village of Newtownstewart, County Tyrone. The castle was built in about 1619 by Sir Robert Newcomen and was modified by his son-in-law, Sir William Stewart, after 1628. The castle was rectangular with a thick central wall. It had three storeys above a basement but only its north and west walls and a little of the south survive. The castle was burned by Sir Phelim O’Neill in 1641. It was occupied for a night by James II in 1698 on his return from the siege of Derry and was dismantled on his orders the next day. The monument is in the care of the Department for Communities. The monument is within the council area of Derry City and Strabane.
