Peel Castle

About Peel Castle

Peel Castle was built in the 11th century by the Vikings and stands on St Patrick’s Isle which is connected to Peel by a causeway. The castle was expanded and modernised to what you see today by the 7th Earl of Derby during the English Civil War.

When the castle ceased to be a fortress it continued to be used by the Church due to the Cathedral of St German being located within the castle.

The buildings within the castle are now mostly ruined, but the outer walls remain intact.
