Castle Rushen

Castle Rushen is probably the finest medieval castle in the British Isles.

The Castle is situated at the centre of Mann's historic capital, Castletown, and is one of Europe's most finely preserved medieval castles. It's origins can be found in the Norse period when Norse Kings fortified a strategic site guarding the entrance to the Silverburn River.

The Castle was developed by successive rulers of Mann between the 13th and 16th centuries, and its towering limestone walls would have been visible over much of southern Mann - a continual reminder to the local population of the dominance of the Kings and Lords of Mann.

For bespoke private functions, what more impressive location could there be for any gathering than amidst the spectacular recreated displays of Castle Rushen and can be used to hold receptions on either the Medieval or 17th Century floors.
