About Portumna Castle:
Portumna Castle, constructed by the fourth Earl of Clanricarde and Frances Walsingham, served as the de Burgo family stronghold for centuries, showcasing semi-fortified Jacobean Manor House architecture. Completed by 1618, it uniquely blends mediaeval and Renaissance styles, set amidst charming formal gardens evoking its seventeenth-century ambience. The castle overlooks Lough Derg, offering captivating views. Open to the public, its ground floor hosts exhibitions detailing the castle's history and the de Burgo family legacy. Adjacent to the River Shannon and Portumna Forest Park, it's an ideal destination for a leisurely day out. Despite facing ruin after a major fire in 1826, ongoing restoration efforts since the 1960s ensure its preservation.
