Description of castle from the owner's perspective

​

Rinn Chùil Uisce Castle, called Rincolisky, is Irish for ‘the end of the headland”. Built remotely away on the cliffs beside Roaring Water Bay, it serves as the perfect place for inspiration. Watching the sunset on the stone terrace high up on the top of the castle overlooking the islands captures the mood (atmosphere) of a romantic painting by Caspar David Friedrich. During a starry clear and calm night, one steps barefoot out on the terrace to watch the reflection of the moon on the bay. But if a gael is romping and the glass windows are bending, it is recommended to walk down a floor and sleep on the first mezzanine. The thick walls of the castle do not permit any noise resounding.

The intensity of the colours, the contrast between the deep green fields and the blue sea lifts the mood of every city dweller. The infinite horizon of the sky, even when it is grey, enhances the imagination thus opening space for ideas. The owner Zizi Rincolisky has created five films, two performances, one script, numerous poems and ten installations while living and working in the castle.
