Mahee Castle

Build in 1570 by Captain Thomas Browne an English soldier, Nendrum castle is a small tower house near Nendrum Monastery.   The rectangular tower house guards the bridge onto Mahee Island, to the southwest there are the remains of a walled enclosure, known as a bawn.  The main part of the tower house is three storeys tall, unfortunately little remains of the upper floors, the entrance to the Castle passes under a murder hole.

Abandoned by the early 17th century the Castle fell into disrepair, in 1923 HC Lawlor and the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society partly renovated the tower house to avoid further erosion by building a buttress wall to support the northwest corner of the tower.

This site is free to access all year round.
