Aughnanure Castle

Aughnanure Castle, a stunning 16th-century fortress near Oughterard, County Galway, on the shores of Lake Corrib. Built by the powerful O'Flaherty clan as a stronghold and home, this well-preserved tower house is a testament to Ireland’s medieval past. The castle features a six-story tower house, a defensive double bawn, a watch tower, and even a banqueting hall, where the O’Flahertys once hosted lavish feasts.
