Ballygunner Castle is a country house in the Ballygunner area of County Waterford in Ireland. [1] It is believed to be built on the site of a former Viking stronghold.[ citation needed ] The main structure of the house includes a combination of medieval and 17th century building, with evidence of further modifications in the 18th and 19th centuries. [2]

The house has historically been associated with the Fitzgerald/Purcell Fitzgerald family (of Little Island Castle) who were landowners in the area into the 19th century. [3]
