Hi! Greetings to all castle-lovers around the world! I'm new here, so I come with a small contribution!
Here comes Cahir castle, situated in county Tiperrary in Ireland, originally built in 1142, but renovated many times since.
It's brief history you can read here.
Official site is here.
Lots of Irish castles have suffered from Oliver Cromwell during his conquest of Ireland, but this one has luckily surrendered without a single shot, so it is in quite good condition.
Sorry for the pictures quality and for presence of the photos authors on most of them. Hope it's not against the rules!
All photos are clickable for a bigger version.

The walls of the castle. If you look closely, you can see once there was a gate in the wall
