Ennistymon House, Georgian manor in Ennistymon, Ireland.
Ennistymon House is a stone building located on elevated ground near the Cullenagh River in a small Irish village. The structure faces east toward local waterfalls and overlooks the countryside beyond.
A castle was built on this site by the O'Brien family in 1564 and later transformed into a Georgian house around 1754. This redesign gave the building its current appearance with classical proportions.
During the War of Independence in 1922, the Irish Republican Army seized control of the house and converted it into military barracks.
The building now operates as a hotel offering private rooms with amenities like free WiFi and television. Its location provides easy access to the village and nearby waterfalls.
The building employs a hydroelectric system powered by the nearby river to generate its own energy. This technical feature is unusual for a historic house and reflects an innovative approach to modern operations.
