Peel Castle On St Patrick’s Isle
Peel Castle is a castle in Peel originally constructed by Vikings. The castle stands on St Patrick’s Isle which is connected to the town by causeway (or as we like to call it, a road) . It is now owned by Manx National Heritage and is open to visitors during the summer. The castle was built in the 11th century by the Vikings, under the rule of King Magnus Barelegs. While there were older stone Celtic monastic buildings on the island, the first Viking fortifications were built of wood. The prominent round tower was originally part of the Celtic monastery, but has had battlements added at a later date. In the early 14th century, the majority of the walls and towers were built primarily from local red sandstone, which is found abundantly in the area.
