==Castle== thumb|left|Castle and bridge thumb|left|Nadir view with smaller annex clearly visible Carrigadrohid castle stands on a rock in the middle of the river Lee, adjacent to the bridge which gives the village its name. It was erected in 1455 by the MacCarthys of Muskerry, with an extension to the east and an annex to the north being added in subsequent centuries. In 1650, it was besieged by Parliamentary forces following the Battle of Macroom, and Boetius MacEgan, the Bishop of Ross, was hanged by the reins of his own horse outside the castle having refused to implore the Irish garrison to surrender to the Cromwellian army.
