Burt Castle

Inch Island, Inch, County Donegal, Ireland, Ireland

Burt Castle is a historic ruined tower house located near the village of Burt in County Donegal, close to Inch Island and overlooking Lough Swilly in the Inishowen Peninsula of northwestern Ireland. Built in the 16th century for the O'Doherty clan, it served as an important stronghold protecting their territory and controlling key routes through the region. The castle played a notable role during the Nine Years' War and later became the headquarters of Sir Cahir O'Doherty during the 1608 rebellion against English rule. After the rebellion was suppressed, the castle was captured and gradually fell into ruin. Today, Burt Castle stands as a striking reminder of Donegal’s Gaelic past. Although partially ruined, its stone walls and commanding hilltop setting offer impressive views across the surrounding countryside and Lough Swilly, making it a popular destination for visitors interested in Irish history, heritage, and photography.
