History of Dromoland Castle
The estate has a fascinating history central to one of Irelands ancient tribes. Donough O'Brien a son of Brian Boru controlled Dromoland when it was a defensive stronghold. It was similar instruction to nearby Bunratty Castle which was also an O'Brien stronghold at that time. For the next 900 years a branch of the O'Brien's lived and ruled from Dromoland. Records show that in 1543 the castle was rebuilt and in 1650 Sir Donough O'Brien moved the most powerful branch of the O'Brien family to Dromoland.
The replacement castle at Dromoland was built in the early 1700's and was more residential in appearance with a design of the Queen Anne period, in the early 1800's the present main building of Dromoland castle with its high Gothic styled grey stone walls was rebuilt and designed by the Pain brother's famous architects of the period. The estate remained in the Inchiquin family until 1962 when it was sold the castle underwent major renovations to transform it into a luxury hotel. In 1987 the property was sold again and through the continued investment and management the castle enjoys a worldwide reputation for excellence and is regarded as one of the great resorts in Europe.
