Historic Houses and Castles

This seventeenth-century fortified manor house was originally the stronghold of the O'Rourke clan, rulers of the kingdom of Breffni. It has been beautifully restored using Irish Oak and traditional craftsmanship.

The Courtyard contains the foundations and features of an earlier defensive structure while another remnant of a bygone age is a traditional blacksmith forge of 17th century style.

A guided tour is provided every hour while an intriguing slide show, “Stone by stone” is available in four languages.

Access for visitors with disabilities to the group floor.

Admission to OPW sites is free on the first Wednesday of every month until the end of 2011.
