Dunguire Castle is situated on Galway Bay. Erected in 1520 by the O'Hynes it was purchased in the 20th century by Oliver St. John Gogarty. He was characterized as a poet, surgeon, and the wildest wit in Dublin! Friends with Synge, Yeats, Shaw and O' Casey, they all took part in the Celtic revival in Irish literature. The castle celebrates this period with evenings of fine food and wine and entertainment of past myths and legends.
Set in Kinvara Harbor, the castle-tower has complete walls with arched gateways and a corner defensive structure.
