Description
Aughnanure Castle is a fascinating monument dating back to the 16th century, built by the powerful O'Flaherty clan. This six-story tower with unique double fortification walls impresses with its medieval architecture and rich history.
The castle is famous for its unusual details, such as machicolations, bartizans and carved jews. You can admire the remains of a banquet hall with beautiful bas-reliefs depicting grapes and vines.
Located near the shores of Lough Corrib, the castle played a significant role in the resistance to Cromwell's blockade in the 17th century. It's an ideal destination for history buffs and families seeking an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Irish countryside.
