Castle Gardens is the most historically significant open space in Lisburn and was once the site of Lisburn Castle, a 17th Century fortified manor house, built by the Conway family, the landlords of Lisburn. Find out about the fires that destroyed Lisburn, who fought a duel over the hand of Mary Rawdon, and why Anne Conway’s body was preserved in ‘spirits of wine’.
If you would like more details about the site and the people who lived in the Castle, why not book a tour along the Wallace Walking Trail or call into our Visitor Information Centre for more information.
