Ross Castle

The history of Ross Castle in Killarney is a story of war, rebellion, and restoration. The castle was built by the O’Donoghue clan in the 15th century as their stronghold and residence. It was later taken over by the McCarthy clan in the 16th century, after the O’Donoghues lost their lands in the Desmond rebellion. The castle was then besieged and captured by the English forces led by General Ludlow in 1652, after a long resistance by the Irish defenders. The castle was then leased to the Browne family, who became the Earls of Kenmare and lived there until the 19th century. The castle was finally restored by the Office of Public Works in the 20th century, and opened to the public as a museum and tourist attraction.
