Enniskillen Castle
A 16th-century castle on the River Erne, with its landmark twin-towered Watergate. Inside are the Fermanagh County Museum and regimental museums.
The castle was first built by the Maguire family in the 15th century to guard the river crossing on the Erne. It was later converted into a British army barracks. The twin-towered Watergate on the riverside is the emblem of Enniskillen. Inside the castle, the Fermanagh County Museum tells the story of the lake district from prehistoric and medieval times to rural life. It also houses the museums of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the Inniskilling Dragoons. Adult admission is about £6. The castle is at the western end of the town center and within walking distance.
