Economic Development \ Bagenals Castle

Since discovering the remains of the castle and reconciling them with the 16th century map and drawings, there has been considerable professional and local interest in the restorations.

Following an extensive restoration of the site, completed in early 2007, the redevelopment of the overall site has resulted in a visitor attraction and interpretative centre based on the discoveries made during the restoration work. Newry Museum has been relocated to the new site and provides an exciting range of existing artefacts donated to the museum to complement those discovered on the castle site. In addition to this, a tourist information centre and educational resource form part of the restored development.
