Adare Castle is an Anglo Norman castle dating from the 12th Century. It is situated on the north bank of the Maigue river at a fording point on the river. It was a Fitzgerald family stronghold until the family lost the castle following the rebellion of Silken Thomas in 1536 when it was granted to the Earl of Desmond who in turn lost it in 1578 following a siege by English forces. . Over the last few years the OPW has carried out extensive restoration work at the castle. |
