Drimnagh Castle and Gardens

Drimnagh Castle was, until 1954 one of the oldest continually inhabited Castles in Ireland and is an outstanding example of an old feudal stronghold. It is the only Irish castle still to be surrounded by a flooded moat. The castle, built of local grey limestone, consists of a restored Great Hall and medieval undercroft, a tall battlement tower with lookout posts and other separate buildings including stables, old coach house, dairy and folly tower. One of the most attractive aspects of Drimnagh Castle is the garden - a formal 17th Century Par-terre layout.
