Tandragee Castle

Tandragee Castle, Tandragee, County Armagh, Northern Ireland was built in 1837 by George Montagu, 6th Duke of Manchester as the family's Irish home.

Prior to the Irish Rebellion of 1641, when the original building was burned down, [ [http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlkik/ihm/castles/irecastl-Armagh.htm Castles of Ireland] ] the Castle and estate at Tandragee were held by the O'Hanlon Sept.
