Glanworth has a Roman Catholic church, a school, one shop and four pubs. The village is locally known as 'The Harbour'. This stems from the ninth century invasion of Vikings, who sailed inland as far as the monastery in Glanworth. The village was sacked and some of the women were taken back to Scandinavia as saltwives. A cry of 'come on the harbour' is still often heard at sporting events.{{fact|date=December 2016}}

The 13th-century Glanworth Castle was built beside the River Funcheon by the Condon family, Norman settlers who arrived in the Cork area in the twelfth century. The keep and the castle wall remain. The castle is now used mainly as a public walk.^[2]

Glanworth Abbey

Glanworth Abbey was built in the 13th century next to the castle by the Dominican order; the priory was desecrated in the 16th century. The priory's gable tracery window, now restored, was once part of the Protestant church, which is located in the Catholic graveyard.^[4]
