Dunguaire Castle is a 16th century castle at Galway Bay in County Galway, Ireland. The castle was built in 1520 by the O’Hynes clan on the south-eastern shore of Galway Bay.
The water body surrounding the castle hill is full of rocks that resemble cow dungs. At first, I thought the castle derived its name from these rocks. However, the the name has a more noble origin, that is, from the Dun of King Guaire.
The castle ground is open to the public during summer. A small fee will be charged for entering the tower. We spent only a little while at this castle as there were more places ahead for us to visit.
