Once upon a time, the majestic castle at Malahide operated as a fortress for the surrounding area. With many elements that date back as far as the 12th century, it has weathered many storms, both literal and figurative. Today Malahide Castle is said to be haunted by many spirits – at least five, according to the experts at Haunted Rooms. These include the Baron of Galtrim, said to have died in battle on his wedding day, and Puck, the former castle jester. Not shying away from its dark history, the castle proudly hosts ghost tours at Halloween.
