Kilkenny
Kilkenny is in the South East of Ireland and noted for its ancient or old churches and castles. The city of Kilkenny has a fine example of a Norman Castle and the old monastery at Jerpoint is a good example of strength of monastic life.
Kilkenny Castle
Kilkenny Castle was built in 1195 to command a crossing point of the River Nore. It is one of the finest Norman Castles in the country. The castle is open to the public.
