Circa early 1900s, this photograph captures the grandeur and beauty of the castle that has stood the test of time. Quintin Castle, also known as Quintin's Castle or Quintin's Fort, was built in the late 16th century by the Quintin family. The castle's strategic location on the shores of Strangford Lough made it an important defensive structure during the early modern period. The rugged cliffs and the expansive lough in the background add to the castle's imposing presence. The castle's design is typical of the Elizabethan period, with its rectangular shape, battlements, and corner towers.
