In the heart of the village of Fethard-on-Sea stands the striking ruin of Fethard Castle, a 15th-century episcopal palace built on an older Norman fortification. The robust residential tower with its characteristic round corner turret served for centuries as a summer residence for the bishops of Ferns, before the influential Loftus family took up residence there. Today, the castle forms an atmospheric public park where you can walk among the imposing stone walls, exploring the layered history of this coastal village.
