The castle was built in the 1400s as a stronghold of local Gaelic chieftains the Maguires, whose rule was interrupted periodically by attacks from the neighbouring O’Neills and O’Donnells. In the 1600s the English took the castle and the plantation town of Enniskillen took its name from the building. Later it became the headquarters of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. Today Enniskillen Castle comprises the Castle Keep and an array of nineteenth century buildings.The Fermanagh County Museum is located in the latter, while the Castle Keep is home to the Inniskillings Museum .
