Carlow Castle: A Glimpse into Medieval History

Carlow Castle, founded between 1207 and 1213 by William Marshal, stands as a reminder of the region’s feudal past.

This castle originally served as a significant military stronghold and has survived various historical transformations, including being repurposed into a lunatic asylum in 1814, resulting in much of its structure being demolished. Today, the remnants include two prominent towers and a section of its wall, overlooking modern development.
