A wonderful Castle with lots of History
Enniscorthy Castle, in the heart of Enniscorthy town, was originally built in the 13th century, and has been ‘home’ to Norman knights, English armies, Irish rebels and prisoners, and local merchant families. Why not visit our dungeon to see the rare medieval wall art –The Halberdier or our battlements at the top of the castle to marvel at the amazing views of Vinegar Hill Battlefield, Enniscorthy town, and the sights. We explore the development of the Castle and town from its earliest Norman origins, with a special focus on the Castle as a family home. Visitors can also view the ‘Enniscorthy Industries ‘exhibition on the ground floor from the early 1600’s onward when Enniscorthy began to grow and prosper as a market town,our exhibition to renowned Irish furniture designer and architect Eileen Gray.

Well Worth the Visit
The four of us ended up with a staff member taking us onto the roof of the castle for amazing and beautiful views. Inside were room settings of times gone bye, displays of artifacts, history of the people that once lived in the castle and the surrounding area. Well worth the visit to this pretty town.

Going back in time..
Going by the reviews and the leaflet we picked up in our Hotel, we knew the castle would be one of our stops while in Enniscorthy. The man who sold us our tickets was very informative, and helpful and explained a bit about the castle and the dungeon etc. The castle is amazing, it immurses you in the cultural and the families there before you. Our favourite part was the 2nd floor ( hopefully that is right) where the Brooklyn exhibition is on, and the old shop and sitting room is set up. It was simply amazing. Thank you, we really enjoyed it. The admission price also, 6 euros an adult is so well worth the money.
