Ardee Castle, one of Ireland’s most historically significant medieval buildings, is getting a new lease on life thanks to a fresh €1 million investment. Louth Senator Alison Comyn has hailed the funding, confirmed by Minister Dara Calleary, as a game changer for the town of Ardee.
“This is fantastic news for Ardee and for County Louth,” Senator Comyn stated. “This investment will play a central role in securing its future.”
This latest injection of cash, which supplements the €2.147 million already committed in 2019, will be used to tackle a range of key areas.
Plans include not just the vital structural restoration of the historic tower, but also the development of new visitor access and interpretive features that will help bring the castle’s rich history to life for locals and tourists alike.
