Danganbrack Castle: The Crumbling Fortress of County Clare

Synopsis:

Join us in this episode of Whispering Stones as we uncover the fascinating story of Danganbrack Castle, an early 17th-century tower house built by the MacNamara family in County Clare.

From its connection to the River Rine to its slow decay over centuries, we’ll explore the castle’s rich history and its transformation from a fortified residence to a forgotten ruin.

Tune in to discover how this once-grand structure is now a silent sentinel, hidden beneath ivy and time.
