Large castle on an island in the river, so it has a natural moat. It was built from 1142 over the site of a cathair or fort and enlarged to the 17th century. It was besieged twice but surrendered fairly tamely, so it was spared damage and is now one of the best preserved castles in Ireland. It passed into state hands in 1961 and is often used as a film or TV location.
Cahir Castle, one of the largest castles in Ireland, is sited on an island in the river Suir. It was built from 1142 by Conchobar Ua Briain, King of Thomond. Now situated in Cahir town centre, County Tipperary, the castle is well preserved and has guided tour and audiovisual shows in multiple languages.
