Dungiven Castle, 19th-century castle in Dungiven, Northern Ireland
The castle stands on elevated ground with grey stone walls, featuring a two-storey structure built in 1836 at a cost of £2000.
The O'Cahan clan maintained a castle near Dungiven Priory until 1688, when it was destroyed during conflicts, leading the Carey family to build a new residence.
The castle played multiple roles throughout its existence, from a military headquarters during World War II to a dance venue hosting performers in the 1950s.
The castle grounds include 22 acres of gardens that visitors can access through a small entrance located on the left side of the building.
The structure faced demolition plans in the 1980s until public opposition and community development efforts secured its preservation and restoration.
