Jordan's Castle is a tower house built in the 15th century (the exact date does not seem to be known). Ardglass was an important port and town in the Anglo-Norman Earldom of Ulster and its old street pattern still exists making it difficult to show the castle without intrusions. It was restored in the early 20th century and is now in state care. It is not shown on the OS map although there is a reference to “Castles” in an adjacent square. This is the view from Kildare Street.
