What is recorded here
Glenarm Castle has anchored County Antrim since 1636, yet shadows from older stones still bleed through the village. Con O'Donnell once broke into the house of MacEoin of the Glens at night, stealing a wife, a steed and a hound because pride had refused a simple request. The MacDonnells later rebuilt the place and have held it for four centuries, turning ancient resentment into a living estate where summer concerts still echo across the gardens.
Glenarm Castle is recorded as a castle in County Antrim. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Glenarm Castle was built by the Stewart (later Stewart de Glenarm) family in the late 16th century and later held by the MacDonnell clan in the early 17th century. It is remembered as a significant stronghold in the Nine Years' War and for its strategic role in the resistance against English forces in Ulster.
