Hotels Near Tully Castle, Irvinestown

Tully Castle is a historic castle located in the town of Irvinestown in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The castle was built in the early 17th century by Sir John Hume, a Scottish planter who was granted land in the area by King James I. The castle was designed as a fortified tower house, with thick walls and narrow windows to defend against attack.

The castle was built on the site of an earlier Gaelic stronghold, and the remains of this earlier structure can still be seen in the castle's foundations. Tully Castle was a symbol of Hume's power and wealth, and was used as a residence for his family and as a center of administration for his estates.

During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Tully Castle was attacked and burned by Irish rebels. Many of the castle's inhabitants were killed, including Sir John Hume's wife and children. The castle was abandoned and fell into ruin, and today only the shell of the castle remains.

Despite its ruined state, Tully Castle is a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public. Visitors can explore the castle's grounds and climb to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The castle is also home to a small museum, which tells the story of the castle's history and the events of the Irish Rebellion. Tully Castle is a fascinating glimpse into the history of Northern Ireland, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the country's rich cultural heritage.
