Cuando Cooch murió en 1699 , legó la propiedad a los Pratt, una familia de ascendencia local .

Antrim Castle or Massereene Castle[86] | Antrim54°43′19.2″N 6°13′51.6″W / 54.722000°N 6.231000°W / 54.722000; -6.231000 (Antrim Castle) | Country house | 1613–1622[87] | Built by Sir Hugh Clotworthy alongside an earlier motte, the plantation castle was besieged unsuccessfully in 1641 and again in 1648. It was extended in the 1660s by Viscount Massereene and rebuilt as a Georgian country house in 1813. This was expanded in 1887 but burned down in 1921, possibly due to arson. The ruins were later demolished, though the castle gardens have been restored.[88][89] The castle is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a servant girl nicknamed the "White Lady."[90] | |
Ballycastle Castle | Ballycastle55°12′3.6″N 6°15′0″W / 55.201000°N 6.25000°W / 55.201000; -6.25000 (Ballycastle Castle) | Demolished | 15th century 1564 1652 | The castle that gave Ballycastle its name stood in the Diamond at the centre of town. The ruins were removed in 1850.[91] | |
Ballygally Castle | Ballygally54°53′52.8″N 5°51′28.8″W / 54.898000°N 5.858000°W / 54.898000; -5.858000 (Ballygally Castle) | Tower house | 1625[92] | James Shaw of Greenock, Scotland, built the tower house and it remained in his family until 1820. It was used as a coastguard station from the 1830s, but reverted to a dwelling in the late 19th century. In 1938 it was converted into a hotel and a new wing was added. In addition to being run as a hotel since the 1950s and being a Grade A listed site, this is also one of the most haunted buildings in all of Ireland.[93][94] | |
Ballylough Castle | Bushmills55°10′30″N 6°30′46.8″W / 55.17500°N 6.513000°W / 55.17500; -6.513000 (Ballylough Castle) | Tower house | 15th century | The castle was a seat of the MacQuillans, and was attacked and captured by the O'Donnells in 1544. In the 18th century, the estate was the property of the Traill family, who built Ballylough House nearby. The ruins of the castle were repaired for use as a dovecote in the 1820s. Two walls remain in the grounds of Ballylough House.[95] | |
Belfast Castle | Belfast54°38′34.8″N 5°36′31.2″W / 54.643000°N 5.608667°W / 54.643000; -5.608667 (Belfast Castle) | Country house | 1870[96] | The original Belfast Castle, built in the 12th century, was located in the city centre, but burned down in 1708.[96] The present house was built by the Marquess of Donegall on the hills to the north of the city. It was designed by John Lanyon in the Scottish Baronial style. It later passed to the Earl of Shaftesbury, and was granted to the Corporation of Belfast in 1935. The house was opened to the public as a venue for weddings and dances and remains in use for this purpose, having been extensively restored in the 1980s.[97] | |
Carra Castle | Cushendun55°7′58.8″N 6°2′13.2″W / 55.133000°N 6.037000°W / 55.133000; -6.037000 (Carra Castle, Antrim) | Hall house | 14th century[98] | Little is known of this site, which is thought to have been built in the early 14th century, though it is traditionally believed to be the place where Shane O'Neill was killed by the MacDonnells in 1567.[98] Archaeological investigation suggests use of the abandoned building as a cillín (infant's' burial ground) in the 16th century.[99] | |
Carrickfergus Castle | Carrickfergus54°42′46.8″N 5°48′2.16″W / 54.713000°N 5.8006000°W / 54.713000; -5.8006000 (Carrickfergus Castle) | Norman castle | 1177[100] | The tower and inner ward were built by John de Courcy,[100] who led the Norman invasion of Ulster in the 12th century. The castle served as his base of operations until it was seized from him in 1204 by Hugh de Lacy.[100] King John captured the castle for the English crown in 1210. It was held by Hugh de Lacy in the 13th century, who set about construction of the outer walls and gatehouse. It later returned to the English crown, and was besieged several times. Improvements were made, in the 16th and 17th centuries, in order to accommodate artillery. The castle was captured by the French in 1760 and afterward served as a military outpost, housing an armoury, magazine and prison. It was given into state care in 1928, and remains open to tourists as a historic monument.[101] | |
Dunaneeny Castle | Ballycastle55°12′39.6″N 6°15′0″W / 55.211000°N 6.25000°W / 55.211000; -6.25000 (Dunaneeny Castle) | Ruins | 1603 | Constructed by Sir Randall MacDonnell after 1600 on the site of a promontory fort, which had also been used as a base by English soldiers in the 1580s. The castle was built with sham defensive features, and excavation of the site indicated that it had never been a residence but was built for administration purposes. Only the foundations of the gatehouse are now visible, on the cliffs near a caravan park.[102] | |
Dunluce Castle | Portballintrae55°12′39.6″N 6°34′44.4″W / 55.211000°N 6.579000°W / 55.211000; -6.579000 (Dunluce Castle) | Castle | 13th century[103] | Built by Richard de Burgh, second Earl of Ulster, on the site of a 10th-century fort possibly built by the Vikings. In 1513 the castle was occupied by the MacQuillans, who lost it in the mid 13th century to the MacDonnells and they made the castle their principal residence. In 1588, the Girona (ship), a galleass of the Spanish Armada, wrecked on the coast directly below the castle, so the MacDonnell chief, Somerled MacDonnell, took the ship's cannon and mounted it in the castle and used the profit from selling the ship's cargo to renovate the castle.[103] Though the castle remained in the hands of the MacDonnell clan, they would eventually move the center of their power to Glenarm Castle.[104] | |
Dunseverick Castle | Dunseverick55°14′16.8″N 6°26′52.8″W / 55.238000°N 6.448000°W / 55.238000; -6.448000 (Dunseverick Castle) | Ruins | 9th century | This coastal site was blessed by Saint Patrick and raided by Vikings in the 9th century. By 1560 the castle was held by Sorley Boy MacDonnell, but was taken from him by Shane O'Neill that same year. It was held by the O'Cahans in the 17th century, but was destroyed by a Scottish army under General Munro during the Rebellion of 1641.[105] Only the ruins of the gatehouse remain standing.[106] | |
Galgorm Castle | Ballymena54°51′25.2″N 6°19′1.2″W / 54.857000°N 6.317000°W / 54.857000; -6.317000 (Galgorm Castle) | Bawn and Country house | c. 1607[107] | Galgorm Castle is a mid-17th-century country house, probably built for Dr. Alexander Colville, within a bawn wall of the early 17th century. It was renovated in the 1830s by the Earl Mount Cashell. It is a grade A listed building and remains a private residence.[108] | |
Glenarm Castle | Glenarm54°57′57.6″N 5°57′21.6″W / 54.966000°N 5.956000°W / 54.966000; -5.956000 (Glenarm Castle) | Country house | 1636[109] | Glenarm was the site of a medieval tower house, which was ruined by the mid 18th century when Alexander MacDonnell, 5th Earl of Antrim, commissioned Christopher Myers to rebuild it as his principal residence. The MacDonnells completed the castle for their residence in 1636 in the Palladian style, and extended it in the 1780s. In the 1820s, Anne, Countess of Antrim, commissioned Sir Richard and William Vitruvius Morrison to remodel the house and build the gatehouse in a "Jacobethan" style. The house was gutted by fire in 1929 and damaged by another fire in 1966, but was restored each time. It remains in the MacDonnell family and is a grade A listed building.[110] | |
Kinbane Castle | Ballycastle55°13′44.4″N 6°17′27.6″W / 55.229000°N 6.291000°W / 55.229000; -6.291000 (Kinbane Castle) | Ruins | 1547[111] | Constructed by Colla MacDonnell on a coastal promontory in 1547, it was damaged by the cannons of the English under Sir James Croft in 1551.[111] It was besieged again in 1555 and Colla died at the castle in 1558. In the 17th century it was held by the MacAlisters, and was occupied into the 18th century. The ruins came into state care in the 1970s, and comprise the remains of curtain wall and a ruined tower.[112] | |
Kilwaughter Castle | Larne54°50′31.2″N 5°53′16.8″W / 54.842000°N 5.888000°W / 54.842000; -5.888000 (Kilwaughter Castle) | Country house | 1807[113] | The present Georgian style house, which incorporated an earlier Scottish baronial Plantation house built in 1622, was commissioned in 1807 by Edward Jones-Agnew to designs by John Nash.It was not completed until 1830, with further alterations continuing into the 1850s. It passed by marriage to an Italian family, and by 1939 it was owned by two sisters who lived in Italy. With the outbreak of the Second World War it was seized by the Custodian of Enemy Property, and used as a military training camp until 1945.

Belle Isle Castle | Lisbellaw54°16′1.2″N 7°33′21.6″W / 54.267000°N 7.556000°W / 54.267000; -7.556000 (Belle Isle Castle) | Country house | 1700 | Belle Isle Castle is in truth a large estate spread across eight islands that has been inhabited since the 12th century.[195] Though the castle has been privately owned for nearly its entire history by generations of nobles such as Ralph Gore, 1st Earl of Ross,[citation needed] it has been open to the public since 1760, when the castle began hosting ceremonies, primarily marriages.[citation needed] Belle Isle was built by the aforementioned Ralph Gore around 1700 after his father, Paul Gore, acquired ownership of the islands and has seen much expansion since. Today, the Duke of Abercorn owns and operates the castle as a venue and accommodation and has been declared a Special Area of Conservation.[196][197] | |
Castle Balfour | Lisnaskea54°15′3.6″N 7°26′42″W / 54.251000°N 7.44500°W / 54.251000; -7.44500 (Balfour Castle) | Castle | c. 1620[198] | Although Castle Balfour is a ruin, it is one of the best preserved of Plantation era castles.[199] Castle Balfour (also known as Castle Skeagh) was erected around 1619 by Lord Michael Balfour when the land was granted to him by King James I.[200][201] The castle was altered in 1652 and damaged in 1689.[202] The last person to possess and inhabit the Castle was James Haire who leased the castle from Earl Erne. The Haire family ceased to live in the castle when it was razed by an unknown arsonist. Major conservation and restoration was undertaken in the 1960s and further conservation work was completed in the late 1990s.[202] Recent Radiocarbon on a ringfort that belonged to the Macguires (the primary suspects in the above arson) on the grounds of the castle date back to 359–428 AD.[203] | |
Castle Caldwell | Belleek54°29′27.6″N 7°58′26.4″W / 54.491000°N 7.974000°W / 54.491000; -7.974000 (Caldwell Castle) | Bawn | 1612–1619[204] | Francis Blennerhassett built a tower house and bawn before 1620, which was sold to Enniskillen merchant James Caldwell in 1660. In the 1780s it was extensively remodeled and enlarged to form a country house in the Gothic style. It was abandoned in the late 19th century, and in 1913 the Forest Service purchased the estate. Today, the ruins remain standing within the forest.[205] | |
Castle Coole | Enniskillen54°20′9.6″N 7°36′10.8″W / 54.336000°N 7.603000°W / 54.336000; -7.603000 (Castle Coole) | Country house | 1798[206] | A mansion built on the site of a 17th-century bawn named after a nearby lake, Lough Coole. Earlier structures in the area include a ráth and a crannog on the lake.[207] Today's Castle Coole was constructed sometime from 1789 and 1798 as the summer retreat of Armar Lowry-Corry, 1st Earl of Belmore and as a showpiece by architect James Wyatt. Additionally, several smaller family residences had been built on the Castle Coole estate preceding the mansion, including a dwelling of the King James period (later deliberately destroyed by arson) and a Queen Anne style house built in 1709. The house is now managed by the National Trust and is open to the public.[208] | |
Crevenish Castle | Kesh54°30′39.6″N 7°44′42″W / 54.511000°N 7.74500°W / 54.511000; -7.74500 (Crevenish Castle) | Bawn | c. 1618[209] | Crevenish Castle is a ruined bawn located 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of the village of Kesh. The bawn was built by a Norfolk man named Thomas Blennerhassett (whose brother built Caldwell Castle),[210] a former captain at Cornet Castle on the Isle of Guernsey, between 1611 and 1622. The castle fell into the hands of the local Macguires when Thomas's eldest son died and his wife wed Rory O'Moore, leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1641, but returned the castle to the Blennerhassetts when Rory was killed in 1648. The castle was reported as being in "ruinous" condition by 1697.[211] Around a third of the structure still stands in a private caravan park.[212] | |
Crom Castle | Newtownbutler54°10′4.8″N 7°26′52.8″W / 54.168000°N 7.448000°W / 54.168000; -7.448000 (Crom Castle) | Country house | 1838 | Crom Castle is a 19th-century Victorian style castle situated on the coast of the Upper Lough Erne. The castle was commissioned by John Crichton, 3rd Earl Erne in 1831,[citation needed] and designed and executed by architect Edward Blore (who was responsible for sections of Buckingham Palace)[213] in the baronial and Neo-Tudor styles.[213] The mansion was completed seven years later, only to burn down three years later. Since its complete reconstruction, it has remained the home of the Earl of Erne.[214] | |
Old Crom Castle | Newtownbutler54°9′43.2″N 7°26′38.4″W / 54.162000°N 7.444000°W / 54.162000; -7.444000 (Crom Estate) | Plantation castle and bawn | 1611[215] | Like a lot of Irish country houses in the 17th century, an English lord, in this case Michael Balfour, was granted this lake-shore estate in 1611 during the Plantation of Ulster. The estate would pass into the keeping of the Crichton family in 1655,[216] which by then included Balfour's bawn, which went on to survive two sieges in the Williamite War before being destroyed in a fire in 1746.[216] It was remodelled as a romantic garden in the 19th century, after the 'new' Crom Castle was built. The old castle and parks are now owned by the National Trust.[217][218] | |
Enniskillen Castle | Enniskillen54°20′45.6″N 7°38′38.4″W / 54.346000°N 7.644000°W / 54.346000; -7.644000 (Enniskillen Castle) | Tower house, later a barracks | 15th century[219] | The castle keep was established on a strategic site in the early 15th century by Hugh the Hospitable of the Maguire family. It was attacked by the O'Donnells and O'Neills in the 16th century, and taken for the British crown in 1594. Although recaptured by the Maguires, they destroyed most of the castle in 1602 to deny it to the British. During the Plantation of Ulster Sir William Cole was appointed constable of Enniskillen, charged with rebuilding the castle. From 1607 he rebuilt the tower and constructed the Water Gate. The castle was besieged by the Irish in 1641. The site was extensively rebuilt as a barracks in the later 18th century, and was occupied by the army until 1950. It is now in state care and has been open to the public since 1964 and currently houses the County Museum.[220][221] | |
Monea Castle | Monea54°23′34.8″N 7°44′52.8″W / 54.393000°N 7.748000°W / 54.393000; -7.748000 (Monea Castle) | Bawn | 1618[222] | The Scots-influenced tower house was built by Malcolm Hamilton, who added the bawn in the 1620s. It was besieged and captured during the Irish Rebellion of 1641. After 1688 it was the residence of Gustavus Hamilton, Governor of Enniskillen, but was abandoned following a fire in the 18th century. The ruins are in state care and open to the public.[223] | |
Necarne Castle | Irvinestown54°27′50.4″N 7°38′6″W / 54.464000°N 7.63500°W / 54.464000; -7.63500 (Necarne Castle) | Country house | 1615 | A tower house and bawn were built by a man named Gerald Lowther in the Plantation period. The lands passed to the Irvine family later in the 17th century, and in 1833 the castle was rebuilt with a new Tudor-Gothic south wing. It has been empty since being used as a military hospital in the Second World War.[citation needed] | |
Portora Castle | Enniskillen54°21′18″N 7°39′39.6″W / 54.35500°N 7.661000°W / 54.35500; -7.661000 (Portora Castle) | Bawn | 1613[224] | A tower house and bawn built by Sir William Cole, it was let to James Spottiswood, Bishop of Clogher, in the 1620s, and was besieged in 1641 and 1688. The tower was occupied by the Coles until 1764, after which it decayed. It was partly destroyed in an explosion in 1859, and further collapsed during gales in the late 19th century.[225] | |
Tully Castle | Blaney54°27′21.6″N 7°48′21.6″W / 54.456000°N 7.806000°W / 54.456000; -7.806000 (Tully Castle) | Bawn | 1612–1615[226] | Built for Sir John Hume, Tully Castle comprised a tower house within a courtyard, which had square towers at each corner. The house was burned down by Rory Maguire during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and was not subsequently reoccupied. A 17th century garden has been recreated in the courtyard.[227][228] |

This was replaced by Robert Ogilby who constructed the present Gothic-revival castle in the 1830s, although it remained incomplete on his death in 1839. It was later converted into flats and then bought by the local authority, who proposed demolition in the 1980s. It has since been restored and is now a hotel.[232][233] | |

As Wingfield had no desire to live at Benburb Castle, the castle was no main residential structure making it something of a defensive structure resembling a keep rather than a residence such as a bawn. 30 years after its completion, the castle was taken by Phelim O'Neill and everyone in the castle was slain.[242] Although the castle was dismantled in 1640, it was restored and is today used as a priory and conference center by the Servite Order.[242] | |

The castle was again renovated in 1864 by the Third Viscount before the castle was razed to the ground by the Irish Republican Army in 1922.[270] | |
Stewart Castle | Newtownstewart54°43′8.4″N 7°22′30″W / 54.719000°N 7.37500°W / 54.719000; -7.37500 (Stewart Castle) | Bawn | 1619 | A Plantation era English manor built in 1619 by Sir Robert Newcomen following the Flight of the Earls.[271] The castle was razed twice - first during the Rebellion of 1641 by Sir Felim O'Neill, and again in 1689 by King James II along with its town as he returned from the Siege of Derry.[272] Today, the monument is a State Care Historic Monument.[252] Also present on the site is an intact Bronze Age cist that was excavated in 1999.[273] |
