| Black Castle Wicklow Ireland |
Built in the 12th century by the Normans, the castle was a stronghold meant to protect against Irish clans like the O’Byrnes and O’Tooles. Over centuries of conflict, the castle saw many battles and sieges, and what remains today is a weathered, crumbling silhouette standing tall against the crashing waves.
🌬️ With panoramic sea views and windswept cliffs, it’s the perfect spot for a quiet walk, a moody photoshoot, or a moment to imagine the echoes of history in the sea breeze.
