Kilronan Castle

Ballyfarnon, County Roscommon, Ireland, Ireland

Kilronan Castle is a striking 19th-century castle located near Ballyfarnon in County Roscommon, set within parkland on the shores of Lough Meelagh.

Originally known as Castle Tenison, it was built by the Tenison family around 1820 and later expanded in the 1880s with impressive Gothic Revival features, including towers and ornate architectural details. The castle was an important estate residence for generations of the Tenison and King-Tenison families.

After a period of decline during the 20th century, when the building fell into ruin and lost its roof, it underwent a major restoration project in the early 2000s that returned it to its former grandeur. Today, Kilronan Castle is a luxury hotel and spa that combines historic elegance with modern comforts. Surrounded by woodlands, gardens, and lakeside scenery, it is one of County Roscommon’s best-known heritage destinations and a landmark of the region’s architectural history.
