Castle on the Hill
This dramatic and beautiful castle ruin known as Roche Castle in County Louth has quite a twisted history! It’s a Norman castle that was built by Lady Rohesia de Verdun in the 1230s. Rumor has it that she said she would offer her hand in marriage to the architect who built her a castle at Roche. On the eve of their wedding she asked her future husband to peer out of a large window to view her great estate that would soon also be his. She then pushed him out of the window and he fell to his death. The window has since been known as murder window.
