Tully Castle

Tully Castle

Tully Castle is a castle situated in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, near the village of Blaney, on Blaney Bay on the southern shore of Lower Lough Erne. The Blaney area takes its name from Sir Edward Blaney, Lord Deputy to King James I, who was among the English advance party sent to Fermanagh to organise the Plantation.

Tully Castle is a fortified house with a rectangular bawn and was built for Sir John Hume, a Scottish planter, in 1619. The bawn had four rectangular corner towers. The castle was captured by Rory Maguire in the Irish Rebellion of 1641, burned and abandoned. Thereafter, the Hume family seat was replaced nearby with Castle Hume Hall designed by Richard Cassels.
