Description

Lantern slide depicting Castle Roche in Dundalk Co. Louth. Originally titled 'CASTLE ROCHE. Co. Louth' and labelled 'L5 62'. The monument was built c.1236 by Lady Rohesia de Verdun after the death of her husband. A legend surronds the castle, relating to its creation. It is beleived that Lade Rohesia promised her hand in marriage to the architect who would build her a castle at Roche. On the eve of the wedding she asked her future husband to peer out of a large window and she pushed him out oto his death. This window is still known as the murder window. The building itself is an Anglo-Norman monument and includes a secret passage and round towers.
