Cloonacauneen Castle, 15th-century Norman tower house in Claregalway, Ireland.

The four-story stone castle features original Norman architecture elements including defensive walls, spiral staircases, and preserved medieval fireplaces.

Richard Beag Burke owned the castle in 1574 and participated in rebellions against English rule before the Blake family acquired it in 1629.

The Red Room Restaurant within the castle walls serves traditional Irish dishes prepared with ingredients from local Galway farms.

The castle functions as a hotel and event venue, accommodating up to 200 guests in its function room and outdoor barbecue area.

The castle maintains authentic medieval features such as murder holes and latrines while providing modern hotel accommodations with four-poster beds.
