King Wally IV built Ballyhoo castle in the 8th century. It has had a long and turbulent history since then. An earthquake destroyed it in 1158. The Duke of Westhumberland rebuilt it over the next century. Both the French and the Scots have conquered it. The Germans bombed it two years in a row in the Second World War. Firstly, in 1940, it's occupants were fortunate - the British army had evacuated them shortly before the bombs fell. The following year they were not so lucky - the local fire brigade was evacuating them when the first planes arrived and the bombs killed 30 people. In 1999 the World Heritage Organisation bought it. They now use one wing as their European headquarters. Experts are currently restoring the other wing. The Queen will open it to the public in the summer of 2002.
