Luckily, it was purchased in 1966 by the Hon. Mark Edwin Andrews of Houston Texas. He and his wife (a prominent American architect), in collaboration with Shannon Development, carried out an extensive and sensitive restoration returning the Castle to its former 15th Century glory while encompassing and retaining later additions which are a testament to the continuous occupation of the Castle. The Andrews were the last occupants of the Castle. Shannon Development purchased the Castle in 1996 with the intention of preserving this important building for future generations. The Andrews spent a great deal of money restoring the private apartment in the Castle, which was their private residence. This apartment which accommodates ten people, is furnished to the highest standards. Knappogue Castle Apartment is available for rent throughout the year. The Apartment features 2 twin en suite bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom, 2 double en suite bedrooms and sleeps 10 people.
