Ross Castle

Ross Castle is a tower house built by O’Donoghue Mor in the 15th-century. Located on the edge of Lough Leane, this magnificent castle is open to public during the months of summer. To find out more information on this, email rosscastle@opw.ie.

Ross Castle is a 15th-century tower house situated on the edge of Lough Leane, in Killarney National Park. It was built by the O'Donoghue clan in the late 15th century and was later acquired by the MacCarthy Mór clan. 

Honestly just the best place to have breakfast (we brought our own and had it in front of the lake, but there's also a cafe).
The Castle opens at 9.30am and entrance costs 5€.

A castle set on a beautiful lake. The OPW leads a great, informative tour of this restored castle!
