Sam Lord's Castle

Buccaneer Samuel Hall Lord built his plantation house overlooking the sea at the southeastern corner of Barbados in 1820. He made his wealth plundering ships he lured onto the reefs by hanging lanterns in the trees so that ship captains mistook this treacherous coastline for Bridgetown.

No expense was spared in installing fine mahogany columns, sculpted plaster ceilings, fine furniture, silver, china and paintings, some of which are still displayed.

Must-see attractions nearby:
While the building had suffered a decline, it was restored by a British army officer who moved to Barbados after World War II.

Today the house is the reception area for a resort hotel.
