Old Connaught House, Georgian mansion in Rathmichael, Ireland
Old Connaught House stands as a granite structure featuring high ceilings, double-glazed windows, and eight acres of landscaped gardens with a tennis court.
The mansion, completed in 1784 for Bishop William Gore, later became home to William Plunket, who served as Archbishop of Dublin from 1884 to 1897.
The Christian Brothers operated a novitiate school at Old Connaught House from 1946 to 1972, contributing to Ireland's educational heritage.
The property now contains 24 apartments in the main building and 26 additional units in separate structures, each maintaining original architectural elements.
The townland of Old Connaught receives special protection as a Historic Landscape Character Area by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
