Knappogue Castle & Walled Gardens
near Quin, Co. Clare

The original tower house of Knappogue Castle was built by Sean Mac-Con MacNamara in 1467. During the 1641 rebellion the castle was occupied by Cromwellian forces. In the 18th and 19th centuries further additions were made to the original structure. The castle was abandoned in the 1920's and was restored by the Hon. Mark Edwin Andrews and his wife Lavonne in 1966. Today world famous Medieval Banquets are held at the castle. The Castle is also a popular location for wedding receptions, gala events and also houses a luxurious state-room accomodation which is available for rental. The beautifully restored Walled Garden at Knappogue Castles offers horticultural therapy, a healing environment and provides a tranquil haven with something of interest for everyone.
