Ferns Castle
Ferns Castle was built in the 13th century, forming a square with large corner towers, one housing
a circular chapel with carved ornament, original fireplaces and a vaulted basement.
Only half of the castle remains.
Ferns is also home to a 12th
century Augustinian Priory St. Mary's, the remains of a 13th century cathedral
(part of the current Church of Ireland Church) and some High Crosses , which
stand in the cathedral grounds.
