Belfast Castle

Victorian Scottish-style baronial castle in Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It was built in 1870 on the lower slopes of Cave Hill for the 3rd Marquess of Donegall and his daughter and son-in-law, to designs by Sir Charles Lanyon and William Henry Lynn. The latter seems to have been the prominent designer, and Belfast Castle is considered by many as his finest building. It is now owned by Belfast City Council.

The original Belfast castle was on a different site in the town and was demolished after a serious fire more than a century before the present building was erected.
