History

The castle was built in the 15th century. By 1914, it had fallen into disrepair. In 1963, a restoration effort was started by the Lenihan family, which saw the roofs of the castle and guest house replaced and the battlements raised back to their original height.[4]

The castle's owners have been recorded since as early as 1574, when it was owned by Richard Beag Burke.Шаблон:Fact
