Dunguaire Castle
🇮🇪 Irlanda · siglo XVI
Dunguaire Castle (Irish: Dún Guaire) is a 16th-century tower house on the southeastern shore of Galway Bay in County Galway, Ireland, near Kinvara (also spelled Kinvarra). The name derives from the dun (fort) of King Guaire, the legendary king of Connacht.
The castle's 75-foot (23 m) tower and its defensive wall have been restored in the 1980s. However the castle has been closed since 2023. It's owner Shannon Airport Group offered it for sale to Galway County Council who have declined due to lack of funds. Therefore the castle is now closed to visitors. Frustration grows in Galway as funding dispute keeps the castle gates shut.
