Belfast Castle

Belfast Castle is located in the Cavehill Country Park in Northern Ireland, at an altitude of 120 meters above sea level. This location gives you the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful view of the city.

Originally Belfast Castle, built in the late 12th century, was within the city limits and was inhabited by Sir Arthur Chichester, a prominent politician and Baron of Belfast. In 1708, the castle was completely burned down, and instead of being rebuilt, the Chichester dynasty decided to build a new residence outside the city, inspired by the local beauty. Construction of the new castle began only in 1811 and took more than half a century.

In 1978, Belfast City Council passed an ordinance to overhaul the castle building, investing more than two million pounds in the project. Ten years later, Belfast Castle was reopened to the public. Now it is a popular place for conferences, wedding ceremonies and tourist excursions. You can also visit the luxury restaurant and antique shop, which are also located in the Belfast Castle building.
