Lonely Planet review for Lynch’s Castle

Considered the finest town castle in Ireland, the old stone town house Lynch’s Castle was built in the 14th century, though much of what you see today dates from around 1600. The Lynch family was the most powerful of the 14 ruling Galway ‘tribes’, and its members held the position of mayor no fewer than 80 times between 1480 and 1650.
