Lusk Round Tower is opening for National Heritage Week on 17th, 18th, 24th and 25th of August from 10am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm.

There will be guided tours also at 11am, 1pm and 3pm with a guide available to answer questions outside these times. Booking is not necessary for these tours.

The 9th-century round tower has been incorporated into the design of an early 16th-century belfry. It is hard to imagine that you can disguise a 27 metre high round tower, but through ingenious design, this has proved to be possible. The monastery which was founded here in the late 5th century by St Maccullin is also associated with St Maurus.

Lusk Round Tower is located in the heart of Lusk, north County Dublin.

Parking is available at The Cultural Centre and the Cottage Community Centre car parks.
