Killyleagh Castle

Believed to be the oldest inhabited castle in the country with parts dating back to 1180, Killyleagh Castle has been owed by the Hamilton family since the early 17th century.

The original castle had only one tower, the present appearance of the castle is the result of two major alterations one in 1666 when a second tower was added, the other alteration in 1850 when the turrets were added creating the romantic silhouette of Killyleagh Castle.

Visitors can admire the beauty of the castle from afar as unfortunately it is closed to the public however, it is worth a drive past or short stop in the village to appreciate the splendour and elegance of this fairy-tale Castle.
