You could own Northern Ireland's Gosford Castle, the real-life Riverrun from 'Game of Thrones,' for a surprisingly reasonable price.
Part of Northern Ireland’s Gosford Castle, which was used for exterior shots of the Riverrun castle on season three of the show, is up for sale starting at just $656,452. Considering that the average price of an apartment in Manhattan in 2017 was $2.19 million, this castle is something of a steal.
And the castle, on the market through Maison Real Estate, has had quite an interesting history aside from its Game of Thrones fame.
Gosford was built in the mid-1800s by the 2nd Earl of Gosford, Archibald Acheson, and remained in the hands of the Earls of Gosford until 1921. During World War II, the castle was used to accommodate troops and had a prisoner of war camp erected on its estate. It was sold after the war and had been used as a hotel since 1983.
Even though just the exterior of Gosford Castle was used for the show, fans still associate the castle at Riverrun with some pivotal moments on the HBO hit show.
