Thóg Maurice Bacach Fitzgerald, larla Dheasmhumhan Caisleán Deasmhumhan c. 1500. Sampla maith de theach túir uirbeach, is éard atá sa chaisleán ná daingean le tithe stórais ar cúl agus oifigí tí ar an gcéad agus ar an dara hurlár. Tógadh ar dtús é mar Theach Chustaim Chionn tSáile ach ghníomhaigh sé freisin mar stóras ordanais, mar phriosún agus mar theach na mbocht le linn and Ghorta Mhóir. I 1601 le linn chaith Choinn tSáile, bhain fórsaí na Spáinne faoi Don Juan Del Aguila úsáid as Caisleán Deasmhumhan. Fógraíodh ina Shéadchomhartha Náisiúnta é i 1938.
Inniu is i gCaisleán Deasmhumhan atá larsmalann Idirnáisiunta na Fíona lonnaithe. Léiríonn an taispeántas seo scéal na gceangal fíona atá idir éire agus an chuid eile den domhan.
