One of Ireland's most historically significant castles, Tulira boasts a rich architectural heritage. Historians believe Tulira is the only Irish castle that was never invaded, attacked or ransacked. A large stone set over the main castle door dates the Victorian addition to 1882.

The banqueting hall sits on the top floor of the medieval tower. The Gothic architecture fulfills its purpose of filtering light into the space. The soaring ceiling and pointed arches also reflect this dramatic style.

Located in the east wing, the fully furnished and equipped kitchen centers around a royal blue AGA stove and cooktop. Beautiful marble tiles adorn the floor, and stained glass sparkles in the expansive windows.

The main window in the great hall remained open until 2000 when the magnificent 12-piece stained glass was added. The design comes from the work of English architect Augustus Pugin.
