The castle has been restored to it’s former authentic glory using the same techniques and materials as the original 16th century builders. The rooms are larger and the stairs wider than in most of the known square towerhouses.
Modern comforts have been incorporated without detracting from the charm and simple grandeur of this ancient dewlling. A unique and beautiful example of a medieval towerhouse, built for security and status, and is still a feature of the Irish landscape.
It is a five storey keep with external dimensions of 38×30 feet(9×10m), rising to a height of 65 feet(20m). A surprising feature of Ballybur Castle is the light. Though narrow, the window have deep angled sills which deflect the light very efficiently.
The castle is now a luxury self-catering holiday home where you can have an unforgettable stay.
