Ferns first came to prominence when the resident King of Leinster, ‘Diarmuid MacMurrough’ brought the first Normans to Ireland in 1169 to help him fight his battles (they never left). However his successors eventually surrendered the Castle when Chieftain Donagh McMurrough did so in 1449.
The present Castle site can be dated on architectural grounds to c1220 indicating that it was built during the period of the Norman Marshall family control of Ferns. The Castle remained the ‘caput of the major’ until 1360 when it was lost back to local Chieftains, the Kavanaghs, who in turn held it until about 1540 after which it was staffed by a succession of English Governors. Over its lifetime the Castle was sacked, damaged and modified several times.

The Chapel’s magnificent vaulted ceiling is borne by moulded ribs resting on corbels in the form of capitals. Three windows light the interior of this 13th century architectural gem which is regarded as the finest of its kind in Ireland. It is possible to climb safely to the top of the 3 storey S.E. tower and enjoy the spectacular view of the surrounding lush countryside. The strategic importance of this Castle can only be fully appreciated by viewing the area which it commanded.
In the adjacent Visitors’ Centre, the renowned Tapestry, depicting the story of Ferns in stitch work can be seen on permanent display from end of May to end of September – 10a.m. to 5p.m.Open Daily.
