Bagenal's Castle

Bagenal's Castle is a historic site in Newry, County Down. A 16th-century fortified house in the centre of Newry, now home to the town's museum.

Bagenal’s Castle gives you a chance to step into Newry’s past while staying right in the city. The old fortified house and adjoining warehouse now hold Newry and Mourne Museum, so the building itself is as much a part of the visit as the displays inside.
