Dunseverick Castle is a ruined ancient castle in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Here, it’s hard to imagine what the castle once looked like… because the building is barely standing! With only 2 walls still standing, this unusual construction faces the ocean… All of which gives it that inimitable charm that’s well worth the detour!

Dunseverick Castle is located on a peninsula in Northern Ireland, very close to the Giant’s Causeway coastal road. A landscape of stark contrasts, between desolation and colorful nature, the château offers an exceptional view and dominates the ocean. Today, only the entrance pavilion has stood the test of war and time… (A small residential tower is said to have stood the test of time until 1978, when it gave way and collapsed into the ocean below).
Built in the 5th century, the castle is said by historians to have welcomed Saint Patrick within its walls as he evangelized Ireland. Marked by history, the castle is said to have endured terrible battles following the Viking Invasions in 870, only to be destroyed in the 17th century by General Robert Munro and Cromwell’s troops.
A castle with a dark past, offering a landscape of great gravity and authenticity, which amateur and professional photographers alike love to take pictures of! A true marvel, then, that should delight fans of ruins and places with a strong history! Not to mention the surrounding coastal beauty!
