==Places of interest==
One side of the main street in Templepatrick consists of the [[demesne]] wall of [[Castle Upton]]. A mock fortified gateway in the wall at the centre of the village leads to the castle itself. The core of the main house is a [[tower house]] with walls up to five feet thick, built in 1611 by Sir Robert Norton, but later bought in 1625 by Captain Henry Upton. The family mausoleum is in the care of the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]] and is open to visitors.<ref>[http://freespace.virgin.net/hearth.nireland/CUpton2.html Castle Upton] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060703130351/http://freespace.virgin.net/hearth.nireland/CUpton2.html |date=2006-07-03 }}</ref> 

The Templeton Hotel in the village was named after Lady [[Elizabeth Templetown]], an aristocrat and writer who lived in Castle Upton in the 18th century. <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.culturenorthernireland.org/town_Home.aspx?co=16&to=346&ca=0&sca=0&navID=1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310194851/http://www.culturenorthernireland.org/town_Home.aspx?co=16&to=346&ca=0&sca=0&navID=1|url-status=dead|title=Culture Northern ireland|archive-date=10 March 2007}}</ref> In 2020, the Templeton became The Rabbit Hotel.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sensi |first=Jasdip |date=17 July 2020 |title=NI Templeton hotel rebrands as The Rabbit |url=https://www.hotelowner.co.uk/25143-ni-templeton-hotel-rebrands-as-the-rabbit/ |url-status=live |website=Hotelowner.co.uk |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201025201330/https://www.hotelowner.co.uk/25143-ni-templeton-hotel-rebrands-as-the-rabbit/ | archive-date=25 October 2020}}</ref>
