Corofin Castle

Tuam, County Galway, Ireland, Ireland

Corofin Castle, also known as Corrofin Castle, is a medieval tower house located near the village of Corofin, between Galway City and Tuam in County Galway, Ireland. Built in 1451 by Lord Clanrickarde, it stands on the west bank of the River Clare and was designed as a fortified residence during a period of regional conflict and power struggles. The castle originally rose four storeys high and featured defensive elements such as a fortified entrance, murder hole, portcullis system, spiral staircases, and vaulted floors. Although now partially ruined, many of its stone walls and architectural details remain visible, offering a glimpse into medieval Irish castle design. Today, Corofin Castle is an important local heritage landmark and a popular point of interest for visitors exploring County Galway’s rich history. Its picturesque ruins, set within the rural landscape near the River Clare, make it a notable example of a 15th century Irish tower house.
