A 16th century Castle located 4km from the heart of Cork city on the banks of the river Lee. While a few remains of the original building still stand, most of it was destroyed in a fire in 1827 and replaced with the current structure that was completed in 1829. While the castle was used for a variety of purposes throughout the ages, it now serves as Ireland’s first fully interactive astronomy centre, which is open to the public.
