Knappogue Castle

Two miles over the road from Quin lies a huge fifteenth century tower house - Knappogue castle. Originally built in 1467 by the McNamara clan who had a huge presence in the area at that time, the castle was taken over in 1649 by Oliver Cromwell who made it his headquarters until 1660 when, after the Restoration, the McNamara regained control of the castle.
Knappogue Castle
In recent years it has been beautifully restored and is open for viewing between April and October. There are Medieval banquets held in the main part of the castle between May and October allowing the visitor to step back in time and enjoy the splendour and fun associated with a Medieval meal.
