A vital 15th-century tower and bawn castle which survived the Elizabethan age in Cork is set to reopen to the public again.
Finished in the time of King Henry VIII, it made it through battle, plantation and conquest, taking fire from Sir Walter Raleigh and then Oliver Cromwell, before ultimately turning into a cowshed in the 18th century, Cork Beo reports.
CorkBeo got to see inside the castle and at the renovations going on there in October of last year, as a massive restoration project was underway.
