Ireland is home to hundreds of castles—some grand and luxurious, others built for war and survival. Many still stand proud as private homes, museums, or hotels, while others have crumbled into ruins scattered across the countryside.

From phantom soldiers on castle battlements to ghostly cries echoing through abandoned halls, these ancient strongholds are steeped in mystery.
