Listowel Castle

This 12th century castle is now attached to the Kerry Literary and Cultural Centre. It was built as a fortress by the Anglo Norman Earls of Kerry. It ceased to be a significant defence in 1559. All that remains of this national monument is the fine facade which has been painstakingly restored in recent years and is floodlit at night. The Kerry Literary and Cultural Centre, located next door to the castle, opened to visitors in Summer 2000. It features exhibits dedicated to the work of local writers.
