Borris House, Country house in County Carlow, Ireland.
The Tudor Revival building displays steeply pitched roofs and decorative half-timbering across its exterior, surrounded by 263 hectares of parkland and woodland.
The McMorrough Kavanagh family has maintained ownership of this property since the 15th century, when they ruled as high kings of Leinster.
Each room contains period furniture, paintings, marble features, vaulted ceilings, and medieval documents that reflect Irish aristocratic life through generations.
Tours of the house require advance booking through the website, with tickets priced at 24 euros per person including access to the manor, farm, and woods.
The current residents, Sara and Morgan Kavanagh, represent the 16th generation of the family and personally conduct guided tours of their ancestral home.
