Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Charles Fort - Kinsale -Married Quarters Built for King Charles II in the 1670s the design is heavily influenced by the French engineer Vauban. The fort is a coastal protection to the approaches to Kinsale harbour. The fort was occupied by James II's forces in 1689 and recaptured by William of Orange's Dutch troops in October 1689. The recognised weakness with the fort was the landward side where it is overlooked by higher ground. The garrison surrendered once the outer wall had been breached by artillery fire. The fort was occupied until the Irish Civil War in 1921 when the Essex Regiment left. |
