Belfast Castle

Belfast Castle is one of Northern Ireland’s most impressive historic landmarks, situated on the slopes of Cave Hill overlooking the city of Belfast and the beautiful waters of Belfast Lough. Completed in 1870 for the third Marquess of Donegall, the castle was designed in the Scottish Baronial style, featuring magnificent sandstone walls, elegant turrets, ornate stonework and a distinctive tower.

The castle later passed into the ownership of the Shaftesbury family, who gifted the building and its surrounding estate to the people of Belfast in 1934.

Set within the picturesque Cave Hill Country Park, the castle is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, colourful flowerbeds, woodland walks and spectacular panoramic views across the city.
