Caherkinmonwee Castle for sale in Co Galway

The remarkable Caherkinmonwee Castle in Co Galway needs some upgrading but it's ready to welcome its new owners to its four floors of magic.

Like many castles in Ireland, Caherkinmonwee Castle in Co Galway lay in ruin and rubble for two centuries until the late 1990s, when a new owner transformed it in one of the best Irish castle renovations we’ve ever seen.

Now up for sale for an undisclosed figure, the castle may need some more modern features installed but it is completely inhabitable and looks as cozy as anything.
