Antrim Castle
Antrim Castle (Massereene Castle) was a fortified mansion on the banks of the Sixmilewater River in Antrim, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Built in stages from 1613 and rebuilt in 1813 with later enlargements, it was largely destroyed by fire in 1922 and demolished in the 1970s; the historic gardens and a few peripheral structures remain. The site retains a 17th-century garden layout including a long T-shaped canal and a Norman motte within the grounds.

As it stood in 1887
The shape it held in its prime.
Three-storey Georgian-Gothic castellated mansion in pale ashlar and darker coursed rubble basalt with sandstone dressings, set directly beside the Sixmilewater River. A flat, crenellated roofline with parapet and tower-like projections at the round corners; a tall hexagonal ashlar turret projects from the entrance front. The symmetrical entrance front is marked by a central Restoration-style doorway with heraldry and a carved head above it. Terraced formal gardens with a long canal forming a T, outbuildings of rubble basalt, and a visible motte in the grounds.
