Castle Upton is a Historic House in the village of Templepatrick, County Antrim. It is within the townland of Templepatrick, in the civil parish of Templepatrick. Originally the site of a 13th-century fortified priory of the Knights of St John, the present building was constructed around 1610 by the Norton family who settled here during the Plantation of Ulster. Soon after, it was bought by the Upton family, later the Viscounts Templetown, who remained in possession until the 20th century. The castle was remodelled in the 1780s to designs by Robert Adam, who also designed the stable block now known as Adam Yard (see Historic Buildings Ref: HB20/12/018 B). Castle Upton is within the council area of Antrim and Newtownabbey.
