Blarney Castle is a medieval castle located in County Cork. The castle is famous for its Blarney Stone, a piece of rock embedded in the castle wall that is said to bestow the gift of eloquence and persuasiveness on anyone who kisses it. The castle is also home to the Cork Butter Museum, which tells the story of the city’s butter industry.
The castle was built in the 15th century by the MacCarthy family. It was later captured by the English and used as a prison. The castle has been extensively restored and is now a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can climb to the top of the castle and kiss the Blarney Stone, or explore the castle’s grounds, which include gardens, a tower, and a courtyard.
