Dunluce Castle, built in the 13th century by Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster, stands on cliffs along Northern Ireland’s Antrim Coast. In the 16th century, it became the stronghold of the MacDonnell clan, valued for its strategic position overlooking the sea.

In 1639, a storm caused part of the castle, including the kitchen, to collapse into the sea, and several servants lost their lives in the incident. Archaeologists later uncovered a 17th-century village beneath the castle ruins, complete with cobblestone streets and evidence of trade. Abandoned soon after its collapse, Dunluce Castle has since become a significant historical site.

The castle also gained fame as a filming location for Game of Thrones, where it represented Pyke, the stronghold of House Greyjoy.
