follow your heart - kilronan castle
TRANSCRIPT
oKilronan Castle, located on the shores of Lough Meelagh, Ballyfarnon, Co Roscommon is one of Ireland’s hidden gems.
One of Ireland’s most luxurious castle hotels, Kilronan Castle is the ancestral home of The Tenison Family and the legendary
Colonel King Tenison. It is one of a few Irish castle estates that can trace its history back to royal families. This 200 year-
old castle is steeped in history, full of character and old world charm… the perfect setting for your wedding.
Kilronan comes from the gaelic ‘Cill Ronain’, which means Ronan’s Abbey, the ruins of which are close by, as well as St
Ronan’s Holy Well & the hollow stone he used for the baptism of his followers. The original castle was built in the early
1800’s and belonged to Colonel King Tenison. It was extended by the 12th Earl of Kingston in 1876 with a five storey over
basement, baronial tower and battlements. During the edwardian period, the Earl & Countess of Kingston enjoyed the
estate until political & social change saw the closure and sale of Kilronan & other Country Estates both in Ireland & abroad.
The estate is nestled amongst acres of woodland, open lawns and pathways leading you to a truly breath-taking estate.
