Lusk Heritage Centre

This building has obviously been built during several time periods. There is a round tower that is the remains of an early monastery founded by St. Macculin. It seems to have different building times associated with it, one source said the 5^th century and two others reported 6^th and 11^th century. St. Macculin (Maccalin) made the pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Fursey in Peronne, France and later became a Benedictine at Gorze.

The belfry and tower house attached to the round tower is from the 16^th century. The Lusk Heritage Centre is located in this portion of the building. Inside is a exhibition on medeival churches and an effigy tomb of Sir Christopher Barnewall and his wife Marion Sharl. These effigies are also from the 16^th century.

The adjoining structure is from the 19^th century. The Willie Monks Folk Museum can be found there.
