Slane Castle
Slane Castle stands on the river about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) upstream from the centre of the village. There is an ancient well in the grounds of the castle near the river. In Irish mythology, the well was blessed by Dian Cecht so that the Tuatha Dé Danann could bathe in it and be healed.
The castle grounds have been the site of large rock concerts since 1981.
