New on Netflix: “Tales of Irish Castles” is a documentary series devoted entirely to the history of castles built in Ireland. Although it dates back to 2014, this is the first time the red-letter VOD service has broadcast this series.

Presented by the brilliantly funny Simon Delaney, the series plunges you into the heart of the Irish Middle Ages, with its clan wars, Viking conquests and Anglo-Norman invasions… It’s all done with simplicity, without resorting to boring history lessons!

Tales of Irish Castles interviews leading specialists on the subject: archaeologists, collection managers at the National Museum of Ireland… Their explanations are simple and interesting, and will teach you how the Anglo-Normans conquered Ireland and built their defensive castles…

Discover the history of Dublin Castle, Kilkenny Castle, Limerick Castle and Leap Castle.

These fascinating reports take a different approach to Ireland’s famous castles!
