    This is a very beautiful 16th century tower house

      Medieval banquets are celebrated in the old castle. Booking during the day in the castle, which can also be visited for an entrance fee (8 € July 2022). The gift shop and craft shop are freely accessible.

        Some may know the action film "Blast Command Atlantic", where Dunguaire Castle served as a film set.

        From the car park it is only a 3-minute walk to Dunguaire Castle, which is called Caislean Dún Guaire in Irish.

        A large signpost on the side of the road ensures that you cannot miss your destination and you can also see this sight from a distance.

          A nice little castle. We weren't in it, but the trail around it is worth it.

            A circular path leads around the castle in a beautiful location by the sea

              A beautiful place, great in the fog.

                The castle is a great photo opportunity and the circular path offers sea views

                  A really beautiful place, but until further notice, no entry. Very nice security, even allows drone flights.
