...Over the years many changes and additions have occurred to the original structure - inside you may find Norman, Scottish, English and European architectural influences.
The castle was given to the Northern Ireland Government by the Earl of Antrim in 1928 to be preserved as a National Monument, since that time the Department of the Environment have taken great care of it. It is obviously a constant process to maintain and preserve such a large artifact of our past and the Department have done this exceptionally well - many skilled workers have been employed in replacing, renovating and preserving the structure over the past decades - for our continual enjoyment.
