Description: Killevy Castle Killevy Castle is on the eastern slopes of Slieve Gullion. It's not really a castle - In 1836, a modest farmhouse called Killevy Lodge was transformed into Killevy Castle by the architect, George Papworth, for his client, Powell Foxall. The architect added four stone towers, Tudor windows, along with outbuildings, a belvedere (or summer house), a lake and a corn mill , and transformed the building and pleasure grounds into what has been called a "Sugar-plum Gothick Castle". The Foxalls owned the estate until 1862 and it passed eventually to the Bell family. http://www.armaghcountymuseum.org.uk/tours/?tv=5&pg=7
