Situated in the heart of medieval Limerick City, King John’s Castle was built in 1200 on the orders of King John. Recognised as one of the best preserved Norman castles in Europe, the walls, towers and fortifications remain in place today.
This 13th century Castle reopened in June 2013 following a multi million euro investment. Now visitors can can explore its state of the art interpretive activities and exhibitions which bring to life over 800 years of dramatic local history.
Children in particular will love the Education and Activity Room which is bustling with interactive touch screen technology, 3D models and discovery drawers to stimulate curious minds.
Exploring and learning about history can be hungry work. So take the chance to relax afterwards in The Hunt Museum Café – the perfect place to unwind and take on refreshments, while enjoying terrific views onto the castle courtyard and the Shannon river.
