A charming old ruin in a lovely setting. You can access the ruin and enjoy it from the different angels. Parking is on the street near by and its only a short walk to the castle. Well worth a visit and enjoyable surroundings

Кратка история за замъка в Едендъри

На върха на хълм, със зрелищна гледка към града Едендъри, стои древният замък Блундел. Построен от нормандското семейство Де Бермингам дошли в Ирландия през 13‑вия век и построили няколко крепости, за да защити територията.

През 15‑вия век замъкът е разрушен два пъти – първо от лорд Фърнивал (1416 г.) и после от англо‑ирландци (1427 г.). След това Де Бермингам се съюзява с местния клан О’Конър, но в края на века английският род Колий (Коли) получава контрола. Кралица Елизабет I им дава земите през 1562 г., а замъкът преживява още атаки, включително по време на Деветгодишната война (1599 г.).

През 17‑м век замъкът преминава в ръцете на Джордж Блъндел, който се жени за Сара Коли. По време на „Войната на двамата крале“ (1689‑1691) разрушават близкия замък Балибритан, а якобитите, водени от О’Конър, отмъщават, като изгарят и замъка Блъндел и града Едендъри (1691 г.). Днес от него са запазени само източната и южната стени.

Легенди – Според местната приказка, в замъка обитава призракът на лейди Блъндел, погребана там през 1701 г. – Съществува слух за таен тунел, построен от Де Бермингам, който би свързвал замъка с другия им дворец в Карбъри (около 8 км). Няма доказателства, но легендата продължава да вълнува посетителите.

Така, макар да е малко от оригиналната история, замъкът Едендъри остава живо свидетелство за вековни битки, семейни съюзи и...
