The castle dates from the 1560s, while the museum is housed in the larger building, a former warehouse and bakery, which dates from the 19thC. Nicholas Bagenal, a tailor's son and escaped murderer from Staffordshire did well in Ireland and was - when he built this castle as his family dwelling - Edward VI's Marshall of the Army in Ireland. http://www.bagenalscastle.com/project/nicholas_bagenal.asp
