Sam Lord's Castle

Sam Lord's Castle is a limestone coral mansion on Long Bay, on the southern coast of Barbados. It was built by Sam Lord, who hung 'wrecker' lanterns off the point, to lure ships on the nearby Cobbler's Reef. The ships though to enter a safe harbor when they saw the lights, but crashed on the reef instead. According to legend Sam Lord collected the ships' cargo after they crashed. Most historians believe the lantern story as folklore, but the castle is still worth a visit. It contains a small collection of paintings and antique furniture.

Sam Lord's Castle is 20 km east of Bridgetown.
