Enniskillen Castle

The Enniskillen Castle Museum provides a ‘gateway’ not only to Enniskillen Castle but the rest of the county – inspiring both local and overseas visitors to discover Fermanagh’s history and culture. It is an important contribution to the area’s growing tourism industry, generating economic growth and raising Fermanagh’s profile on an international scale.

Enniskillen Castle was built in the 15th Century by the Gaelic Maguires. Located next to the River Erne which offered an important passage into Ulster, it was a strategic point throughout history. The new exhibition centre brings light to this, celebrating the castle’s significance and lasting cultural heritage. The museum includes some of the earliest archaeological finds in Fermanagh as well as more recent discoveries during the excavation of the Drumclay Crannog.
The project won the Tourism and Hospitality Project of the Year 2017 at the Irish Construction Industry Awards. Project Architect Mark Knight said: “This was a complex and difficult project, in that we were constrained in terms of what we could and could not do, dealing with multiple oversight agencies, limited budget and strict timelines. We are thrilled that ICI have recognised our achievement.”
Michael Nugent installed all mechanical works at the centre and are immensely proud to be involved in such a meaningful project.
