About this venue
Highlights
By merely looking at the photos and videos of this location, you’ll be convinced that this is a breathtaking, scenic, and extraordinary ceremony venue for two in Northern Ireland. The second of three stunning castle ruins on the North coast, ceremony venue in Co. Antrim is probably the country’s best-kept secret. Perched on a rocky headland that extends into the Celtic Sea, it is a breathtaking and very private place for a wedding ceremony.
History
This ceremony venue in Co. Antrim is a 16th-century structure with a very rich historic background. Only four years after it was built in 1547, it was attacked by the English forces. The castle received its biggest blow in yet another siege by the same group four years later when it was destroyed by cannon fire in 1555. Despite the attacks, the castle had been rebuilt and it stood above the extraordinary rock formation of white limestone on the North coast of Ireland even centuries after. The historic castle remained complete and habitable until the 18th century when its structures started to crash into what it is now. Over 400 years after, the two-story castle's ruins still stand proudly in front of the Irish sea, serving as a gorgeous ceremony venue for two in Northern Ireland.
