For Sale
Description:
A truly unique property on the outskirts of Mullingar Town with commanding view across the surrounding countryside.
Rathconnell Court, consists of a small Gate Lodge with an avenue leading up to the elevated ruin of the Georgian two storey over basement structure together with it's round tower, surrounded by mature trees and overlooking Lough Sheever & Mullingar Town. The property extends to c. 8 acres and includes the remains of a large walled garden.
History & Background:
Rathconnell Court and the earlier Rathconnell Castle stand as silent sentinels to one of the most turbulent chapters in Irish history. In 1642, it became the backdrop to a fierce skirmish during the Cromwellian invasion, where Irish Confederate forces, weakened by disunity and poor supplies, made a valiant but ill-fated stand against the advancing Puritan army. Led by Sir James Dillon, the defenders established a garrison at the castle, but due to miscommunication and alleged betrayal, their efforts ended in tragic loss. The battle saw the fall of noblemen and seasoned soldiers€"including the gallant Captain Brien, a former Roundhead turned Confederate hero€"whose decapitated head was paraded as a trophy in Dublin. The British Forces were led by Sir Richard Greville and Rathconnell Castle subsequently became the seat of the Adams Family. The original tower type castle which is next to Rathconnell Church & Graveyard, was replaced in the early 1800's by Rathconnell Court, a Georgian Gothic Style Period Residence.
Despite the devastation, the site endures as a powerful symbol of Irish resistance, sacrifice, and resilience. Today, Rathconnell Court and its surrounding ancient woodlands offer a rare opportunity to own a property steeped in legend and heritage, where the echoes of the past still whisper through the trees.
Directions:
From Mullingar take the N52 Delvin Road, after crossing the N4 Mullingar Bypass, continue c.500m and take the 2nd turn right and the property is straight-ahead.
