Jordan's Castle

About

100 years ago Jordan's Castle was bequeathed to the State by Francis Joseph Bigger. The castle was his weekend retreat. For European Heritage Open Days two tours have been organised showcasing the rich heritage of Ardglass, a quiet coastal village with no less than six castles!

Addtionally, talks have been organised in the Castle which cover the life and legacy of FJ Bigger. The Castle will remain open during the day for visits and will give a rare opportunity to see this unique building.
