Black Castle Description
The old Wicklow of narrow streets grew up in the shelter of Black Castle (12th C), a Norman stronghold on a rocky promontory east of the town, which until the 17th C. was subject to repeated attacks as rival clans contended for its possession.

There are some remains of a Franciscan friary (13th C) in the garden of the parish priest's house. Built into the 18th C. parish church is a beautiful Romanesque doorway.
