Lackeen Castle, built in the 12th century is a fine example of an Irish tower house.





Standing in a bawn, four stories high and featuring fine fireplaces. A straight stair runs up to the first floor and a spiral staircase runs to higher levels, the third storey is vaulted.





Lackeen belonged to Brian Ua Cinneide Fionn, chieftain of Ormond, who died in 1588. The castle passed to his son Donnchadh, the last Ua Cinneide chief of lower Ormond who further fortified it against the Cromwellians, but ended up surrendering to Cromwell in 1653.





Donnchadh Ua Cinneide descended from Brian Boru, who in the 10th century was High King of Ireland. Cinneide translates to ‘Helmeted Head’, the Ua Cinneide chiefs were the first to wear a helmet in battle against the Vikings. The name ‘Ua Cinneide’ was anglicised to ‘Kennedy’. Post Cromwell the Kennedy family regained Lackeen Castle.





John O'Kennedy, in the process of rebuilding Lackeen discovered a 9th Century manuscript hidden in the castle walls. Written in Latin, this manuscript called the Stowe Missal was a mass book of the early Irish Church. The book was in use at the monastery of St. Ruadhan in Lorrha, Co. Tipperary around the year 1050 and at some point was hidden at Lackeen for safe keeping.
