Tandragee Castle is a nineteenth-century Gothic Revival castle in the town of Tandragee in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, built on the site of earlier castle remains overlooking the town and the River Cusher valley. The building is now occupied by Tayto, one of Northern Ireland's most famous food brands, producing the popular Tayto crisps that are a beloved part of Northern Irish food culture. The combination of nineteenth-century Gothic castle and crisp factory represents one of the more unusual heritage uses of a historic building in Northern Ireland, and the Tayto crisp brand has created a tourist attraction in its own right at the castle, with tours of the crisp factory and a visitor attraction that celebrates the extraordinary cultural status of the Tayto brand in Northern Irish identity.
