Known for its distinctive architecture
Dunguaire Castle is a 16th-century tower house located on the shores of Galway Bay in County Galway, Ireland. The castle was built in 1520 by the O'Hynes clan, but was later purchased and renovated by Oliver St. John Gogarty, a well-known Irish surgeon, poet, and writer. The castle is known for its distinctive architecture, with a round tower and a rectangular block connected by a small courtyard. The exterior of the castle is decorated with intricate stonework, and the interior features oak paneling and a large stone fireplace. The castle is open to visitors and hosts a variety of cultural events, including medieval banquets and performances of traditional Irish music and dance.
