  Knappogue castle is medieval tower house dating back to 1467 and it was built by Sean MacNamara. It has a varied history ~ from being a site of a battle to a home. In 1571 the Castle became the seat of the MacNamara Clan, part of the Dalcassians. In 1659 it was confiscated by Cromwell's parliament and granted to Arthur Smith. When the monarchy was restored in 1670 Knappogue was returned to the MacNamaras. The MacNamara Clan sold the castle in 1800 when they experienced financial difficult, and it has changed hands a number of times subsequently. Today you can visit the walled garden or attend a medieval banquet both are well worth the effort. The walled garden itself is peaceful and well maintained garden.

  We did the medieval banquet. It was a lot of fun and I'd highly recommend it. Food was great and the actors/entertainment was excellent.

  Attended the evening banquet. The in period costumed staff said a superb job of both entertainment and service. The meal was surprisingly good, expected the price of the banquet was more about the atmosphere and less on the meal, I was wrong.
