История

В тринадцатом веке замок построил Ричард де Бург, 2-й граф Ольстера. Большая часть строений замка в том виде, в каком они сохранились до наших дней, датируется XVI—XVII вв. Хозяевами замка историки считают шотландский род Мак Доналсов, которые владели островами близкими к Шотландии. Но считается, что по крайней мере две круглые башни относятся к более раннему времени Мак-Куилланов, которые, начиная с XIV века, владели областью Рут в Северном Антриме, между реками Банн и Буш.
Замок Данлюс служил местом для проживания клана Макдоннелсов до 1690 года, когда род разорился, а замок был разобран для строительства других сооружений.

Castle Balfour is a castle situated just off the Main Street of Lisnaskea, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the townland of Castle Balfour Demesne. It was built in 1618 by the Balfours when Sir Michael Balfour took control of the town in the Plantation of Ulster. The last person to possess and inhabit the Castle was James Haire (1737-1833) who leased the castle from the Earl of Erne. James Haire and his family ceased to occupy the castle after it was destroyed by an arson-based fire in 1803. His mother, Mrs. Phoebe Haire, was killed by the fire. It is believed that the perpetrator of the fire was a member of the Maguire clan.

John Porter, beig bought for £68,000.[1] The castle remained in the Porter family until sold in 1991 by Miss Lavinia Baird, a descendant of Rev. John Porter, to the Duke of Abercorn, who purchased it for his second son, Lord Nicholas Hamilton.
