Om
Raske fakta: Et tidligere tollhus som ble omgjort til et vinmuseum, det var vitne til vinhandelens oppsving på 1600-tallet. De tykke kalksteinsveggene gjaller fortsatt med historier om handelsmenn og smuglere fra århundrer tilbake.
Høydepunkter: Se etter de gamle vinlagrene dypt inne i slottets kjeller, hvor tusenvis av vinflasker en gang ble lagret for modning. Slottets unike blanding av militær og kommersiell arkitektur står i tydelig kontrast til de typiske festningene rundt Irland.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven stone floors and cellar steps.
- Bring a camera for the atmospheric vaults where natural light is low but moody.
- Arrive early to avoid peak tour times and enjoy quieter exploration.
- Skip guided tours if you prefer a personal pace, as informative plaques are well placed throughout.
