Take a guided tour of this thirteenth century castle, learn about medieval times and the MacEgans, reflect in our oratory and enjoy views from the roof top

Today Redwood Castle is one of the oldest castles in Ireland, still owned by it's original clan, the MacEgans. The castle remained in ruins up until the 1970's when a Castlebar lawyer undertook its restoration. Michael Egan restored the entire castle to its former glory were he used it for a second family home. Now owned and run by his daughter, Coleesa, the castle opens to the public during summer months as a sight of historic interest. On visiting, you will be warmly welcomed and led through the castle by a tour guide. Tours consist of a talk on the history of the castle from its construction in the 1200's right up to the present era, climbing the spiral stone staircase to the main banquet halls and bed chambers, visiting the castle's own private Oratory, viewing photos of the building prier restoration and finally taking in the beautiful views from the roof top terrace. Tours last approximately one hour and entrance is only €10/adult and €5/student/OAP.

Guests were transported through an enchanting evening of music, storytelling and history, surrounded by the beautiful atmosphere of this remarkable heritage site.

A truly memorable celebration of our past, our culture and the wonderful stories that bring our heritage to life.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special! ✨

Further more we had a special little recital at the end of the evening by a young student, Ava. Who traveled just to hear the harp,
