Antrim Castle is a seventeenth-century fortified mansion located in Antrim town, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Constructed in the early 1600s, it represents a significant example of post-medieval fortification architecture combining defensive features with domestic accommodation, reflecting the period of English settlement and plantation in Ulster. The castle features a distinctive plan with towers and bastions characteristic of early modern military design adapted for civilian use. Though substantially damaged during the Irish Civil War in the early twentieth century, its remains continue to illustrate the architectural responses to security concerns among settler communities in early modern Ireland.
