Maynooth Castle
Glenroyal Hotel & Leisure Club is located right in the heart of Maynooth, Kildare just down the street from one the most popular local attractions – Maynooth Castle. Restoration work on the castle was restarted by the Office of Public Works in February 2000 to develop it into a Heritage site. Today the partly ruined building remains as a tourist attraction, with limited access possible.
Opening Hours are from June to October, 10.00 a.m. – 5.45 p.m.

The building itself was constructed in the early 13th century, and it became the primary residence of the Kildare Fitzmaurice and Fitzgerald family. Gerald Fitzmaurice’s descendants became the Earls of Kildare and Earls of Leinster.
