Athenry Castle - Ireland
Athenry Castle is located in the center of the town of Athenry in County Galway, Ireland. It is a large rectangular building with a large hall on the 1st floor and storerooms at ground level. The entrance is at the first-floor level by external wooden stairs. A garderobe (or toilet) is located diagonally across from the main entrance to the hall.
There are fine carvings on the exterior of the doorway and on the inner side of two of the window openings that bear witness to the importance of the hall. The castle contains original 13th battlements with tall arrow loops in the solid sections or merlons.
If you watch carefully, you may see a ghost in the video!
