Castlegar House, near Ahascragh, in our neighbouring county of Galway. Built in 1803 by Sir Ross Mahon, to a design by architect Richard Morrison. The Mahon's were of course linked with the Guinness family, jointly founding the well known Guinness Mahon merchant bank. The Mahon's lived here until 1979 when they sold Castlegar to John Horan. Castlegar was purchased in 1992 by a Frenchman who set about restoring the house to its original splendour. He spent a considerable amount of money on the house and lived there into the late 90's, early 00's. It is still extant and privately owned.
