What is recorded here

Darver Castle is a four-storey stone fortress in County Louth that has remained occupied since the 12th century, when Patrick Babe received the land from King Henry II. The building replaced earlier wooden defenses around 1432, using thick limestone walls and angular towers to watch the rivers below. It has served as a military outpost, a family home and now a hotel, carrying the same oakwood landscape through every change of purpose.
