Ardgillan Castle, Country estate with castle in Balbriggan, Ireland
The castle stands within 194 acres of parklands, woodlands, and gardens, offering views of the Irish Sea and the Mourne Mountains to the north.
The central part of the castle, initially named Prospect House, was constructed in 1738 by Robert Taylor, with additional wings completed in the late 1800s.
The permanent exhibition displays 17th century Down Survey maps of Ireland, created by Thomas Taylor, demonstrating the historical mapping of the country.
The castle opens from 9am to 5pm during winter months, extending to 9pm in summer, with guided tours, a café, and free parking available.
The Alcove Wall in the garden was constructed during the Famine period as a relief initiative by the Taylor Family to grow tender fruit trees.
