Dunluce Castle

Dunluce is the ruins of a 13th-century castle, located on the edge of a basalt islet and connected to the mainland by a bridge. The castle was built on a steep cliff and towers over the surrounding area. It is open to the public. Visitors can watch, among others discoveries of archaeological excavations carried out in the area of the long-abandoned Dunluce Town, adjacent to the castle.

Dunluce Town was built around 1608. Probably the most revolutionary building solutions in Europe of the time were probably located here, including internal toilets and a complex street network based on a network system. Only 5% of the city has been discovered so far.

Legend has it that one day the part of the castle where the kitchen was located collapsed into the sea. Only the kitchen boy who survived in the corner of the room survived. The wife of the owner refused to continue living in the castle. However, this story is not confirmed because the kitchen is still intact. It wasn't until the 18th century that the north wall of the residence fell into the sea.
