Ardglass Castle
Until the late 18thC this was part of a group of medieval fortified warehouses overlooking the harbour entrance and known as the New Works or Newark. In 1790 some of these warehouses were converted by Lord Charles Fitzgerald to form Ardglass Castle. In 1806 it was sold on to William Ogilvie the man who built the fishing harbours at Ardglass. At Ogilvie's death it passed on the Beauclerc family. When Charles Beauclerc, was made bankrupt in 1896, the castle and grounds were purchased by a syndicate of local businessmen who set up a golf course, with the castle serving as the clubhouse. A fortified tower house, known as Horn Castle, was also incorporated into Fitzgerald's castle. This can be seen at the rear of Ardglass Castle and now serves as the club shop.
