Altinaghree Castle or also known as "Ogilby’s Castle” was built in 1860 by William Ogilby. The castle was constructed with Irish cut stone which was transported by horse and cart from nearby Dungiven. Imagine how long that took!

Once complete it boasted lavish furnishings and it was noted that nothing came close to its style and grandeur, it was famed for its magnificent banquet hall. The castle would have been home to James Ogilby however he fell in love and married a local seamstress who his parents thought was below his station and they did not approve of the marriage.
