King's Castle, Medieval castle in Ardglass, Northern Ireland.

The fortress rises above the coast with stone walls, circular towers, and defensive structures that demonstrate medieval military architecture.

Constructed during the Norman invasion of Ireland, the castle served as a strategic stronghold for controlling maritime routes and defending against hostile forces.

The castle holds regular exhibitions about medieval life, where visitors learn about weaponry, clothing, and daily routines of castle inhabitants.

The castle opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available every two hours and reduced admission prices for students and seniors.

Within the castle walls, archaeologists discovered a collection of medieval coins that revealed trade connections with Mediterranean merchants.
