The castle was built in the 13th century, possibly by William, Earl Marshall. Originally, the castle formed a square, with large corner towers. Only half of the castle now remains.

We were 5 family members from 24 to 88 yrs 3 visiting from Marseille France and we had a wonderful visit to Ferns Castle, we wish to thank our guide John and the staff at Ferns for their excellent welcome. We were thoroughly engaged in the story of the castle, the area and the history of ireland painted beautifully in words by our host John. We would highly recommend visiting this small but exceptional heritage site brought to life by the passionate and knowledgeable staff. Murray Murphy Perez family

A fifteenth century castle built on the remains of a much earlier site. Following the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in Ireland in 1169, the district in which Fethard is situated was granted to a knight named Harvey de Montmorency. He, in turn, granted it to Christ Church, Canterbury, England. In 1200A.D. Canterbury ordered the construction of a castle at Fethard and a court to the north of the church, presumably on the site of the present castle.
