Aughnanure Castle, nestled in the heart of Connemara, is a historical gem that dates back to the late-fifteenth century. This well-preserved tower house was once the stronghold of the O’Flaherty Gaelic lords and boasts a stunning location overlooking the Drimneen River near Lough Corrib. With its rich history, including resistance against Cromwellian forces and subsequent confiscation of lands, Aughnanure Castle stands as a testament to the power and influence of the O’Flaherty clan. Visitors can explore the castle's inner and outer enclosures, banqueting hall, and other buildings, immersing themselves in the fascinating past of this impressive structure.
