Listowel Castle’s earliest date of construction is linked to the 13th century. The present castle is believed to have been built by the FitzMaurices
in the 15th century.
Listowel Castle is located on a steep bank overlooking the River Feale.
It is situated above a strategic ford.
A large part of the front of the castle
still stands. There are two large square towers and four stories. There
are rather steep steps to access the various floors. A tour guide conducts
the tour.
Admission to the castle and the guided
tour are free.
