Enniskillen Castle, Medieval fortress in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland
The castle occupies a strategic position on an island between two sections of Lough Erne, featuring a rectangular keep and the Watergate tower.
Hugh Maguire constructed the initial square tower house in 1428, which underwent multiple sieges and reconstructions during conflicts between Irish clans and English forces.
The Fermanagh County Museum within the castle walls presents exhibitions about local traditions, crafts, and the history of the Maguire clan.
Visitors can access guided tours of the castle complex, which includes both the County Museum and the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Regimental Museum.
The Watergate structure, added in 1609, features Scottish architectural elements with its distinctive circular tourelles despite never functioning as an actual gate.
