Jordan's Castle, Quay Street, Ardglass
This former defensive tower house was built in the 15thC. In Elizabethan times, its owner, Simon Jordan, endured a three year siege by the men of rebellious Hugh O'Neill, the Earl of Tyrone. The siege was finally lifted by the arrival of the English fleet in 1601. With the pacification of the area in Georgian times, the tower-house lost its purpose and was left to fall into disrepair. Its purchased in 1911 by a rich lawyer who was willing to spend money on its restoration saved Jordan's Castle from being demolished. The old tower house is now cared for by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
