Blackrock Castle was originally built to protect Cork from pirates and invaders, back in 1582. A round tower was added around 1600 to help guide ships. The original four-story tower was destroyed in a fire in 1722 and was rebuilt. Then in 1827, the castle was destroyed in a fire. By 1829 it had been rebuilt, with new out-buildings and a taller tower.
