Hazelwood House, Sligo, Country house in Calry, Ireland

The limestone Hazelwood House sits on the banks of Lough Gill, featuring a three-story main block with two-story wings connected by curved passages.

Richard Cassels designed this 1731 country residence for Lieutenant General Owen Wynne, establishing the first Palladian-style mansion in Ireland.

The estate grounds connect to Irish mythology, with seven cairn-topped mountains including Knocknarea, linked to tales of Queen Maeve and the Fianna warriors.

The property hosts the Lough Gill Distillery since 2019, following extensive renovations that preserved the architectural elements of the historical structure.

During World War II, the Irish Army's 12th Cyclist Squadron utilized the mansion as military barracks before its conversion into a psychiatric facility.
