Feb 23, 2021 · Nenagh Castle is a stunning 13 th-century castle that is nestled in the heart of Nenagh town in County Tipperary. The tall castle tower overlooks the bustling town of Nenagh while also offering spectacular views of the nearby Tipperary countryside.
Built from limestone Nenagh Castle measures fifty-five feet in external diameter at the base and rises to a height of one hundred feet. The Castle features four storeys and thanks to a recent renovation this wonderful landmark now represents the town’s premier tourist attraction.
The existing 100ft high x 55 ft external diameter tower remaining, today known as Nenagh Castle or locally “Nenagh Round,” used to be attached to a curtain wall which surrounded a five-sided courtyard.
Located centrally at the top end of Nenagh, the castle is basically a partially restored round tower with access to the upper levels via the original winding stairs built into the thickness of the outer walls. These are very steep and narrow and not suited to the less able.
