Explore 'Galgorm Castle: 1603 – 2024 & Beyond' as you experience over 400 years of history in just one hour, uncovering the fascinating past and dynamic present of Galgorm Castle and grounds.
Originally granted by King James I in 1607 to the warrior Rory Óg MacQuillan, the estate was soon taken over by Sir Faithful Fortescue, who built the striking Jacobean castle in 1618.
