Bagenal's Castle (Irish: Caisleán Bagenal) is a 16th century fortified house located in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland.[4] It was rediscovered in 1996, where it was found located in the premises of the former McCann's Bakery.[5][6] The castle consists of a rectangular plan with three storeys and was made with granite. During its restoration, sandstone was used as the replacement material.[7]
