Cahir Castle Welcome to the official page for Cahir Castle, an OPW managed Heritage site. It is one of Ireland's largest and best preserved castles.

Once the stronghold of the powerful Butler family, the castle retains its impressive keep, tower and much of its original defensive structure. It is situated on a rocky island on the River Suir. The castle's attractions include an excellent audio-visual show which informs visitors about the castle.

Heritage Week got off to a great start here at Cahir Castle, with an amazing concert by Noel Cotter and his band, Donnybrook Fair. The band treated the crowd to a fantastic performance and all thoroughly enjoyed the festival atmosphere in glorious sunshine.
Meanwhile, the Inch Field was transformed by a spectacular display of vintage cars. The display of icons of a bygone age brought wonderful colour and joy - brilliantly organised, as usual, by the hard-working Cahir Tidy Towns , ,
