The first stone castle on site was constructed in the 1190’s by the Norman Knight Philip De Prendergast and his wife Maud. Philip, Maud and their descendants owned Enniscorthy Castle until the Gaelic revival in the late 1300’s. In the 1370’s Gaelic chief Art MacMurrough Kavanagh retook the Castle by force. The Castle remained in his family’s ownership until they surrendered it to Lord Leonard Grey in the 1530’s. For the next 50 years Enniscorthy Castle remained in a ruined condition until the arrival of Sir Henry Wallop. Henry Wallop rebuilt the Castle upon its existing foundations. The Castle was later occupied by Cromwellian forces in 1649 and used as a prison during the 1798 Rebellion. It became the private residence of the Roche family, from 1903-1951. The Castle served as Wexford County Museum from 1962-2006. Enniscorthy Castle closed for refurbishment works in 2006 and reopened in 2011.
Today, Enniscorthy Castle explores the development of the Castle and the town of Enniscorthy from its earliest Anglo-Norman origins. The Castle also houses exhibitions dedicated to its last residence The Roche Family, the Industrial and Commercial Heritage of Enniscorthy, Colm Toibin’s; Brooklyn and the pioneering modernist designer Eileen Gray.
