Description | Built on the site of the O'Malley castle of Cathair na Mart by Colonel John Browne, expanded by his grandson to the design of Richard Cassels, the house has remained in the possession of the Browne family for over three centuries. They still live there and the house and its grounds function as a major tourist attraction. |
