Description

Kilwaughter - The Unknown Castle: Four Centuries of Power, Politics, and Decline

On the edge of Larne in County Antrim, the crumbling remains of Kilwaughter Castle whisper of a forgotten past. Once a proud plantation house, it has borne silent witness to centuries of conquest, ambition, scandal, and resilience.

From the ancient Ó Gnímh bards-later Anglicised to Agnew-through Anglo-Norman lords, Scottish settlers, and Italian aristocrats, this richly researched narrative traces the turbulent journey of a single estate and the extraordinary lives entwined with it. Meet figures who helped shape Belfast, men embroiled in politics and rebellion, profiteers of the West Indies slave trade, and a determined American woman who sought to rescue the castle from oblivion.

Through war, abandonment, and faded glory, Kilwaughter - The Unknown Castle brings to life the rise and fall of families, the clash of empires, and the enduring legacy of a remarkable structure. For readers of historical biography, social history, and architectural heritage, this is a vivid portrait of one forgotten corner of Northern Ireland-and the global currents that shaped it.
