Bellinter House, Georgian mansion near River Boyne, Ireland
Bellinter House is a mid-18th-century country house with a limestone facade and symmetrical design across three floors. The building sits within parkland and features connecting wings that create a courtyard arrangement in the center.
The house was designed in 1750 for a Dublin brewer who built a large estate on the land. The designer created a residence that ranked among the notable country houses built in Ireland during that era.
The house reflects how wealthy Irish families lived and built during the 1700s, with rooms and spaces designed to show their status and taste. Visitors can see how the building was meant to impress guests and demonstrate the owner's success in business and society.
The estate is easy to reach from Dublin airport and nearby highways, and it now operates as a hotel with dining options. Plan ahead since the property caters to overnight guests and offers accommodation along with various services.
The property contains an original ice house that was once used for storing food from centuries past. A remarkable incident occurred in the 1800s when a horse somehow ended up and remained trapped in the upper floors for several weeks.
