Belfast Castle

Belfast Castle is set on the slopes of Cavehill Country Park, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

 

The building was built from 1811–70 by the 3rd Marquess of Donegall. After Donegall's death and the family's financial demise, the 8th Earl of Shaftesbury completed the house.

 

The castle was presented to City of Belfast in 1934 by the 9th Earl of Shaftesbury.
