History
[edit]Partry House was built by Arthur Lynch in 1667, on the remains of Cloonlagheen Castle, as a dower house for his mother, Lady Ellis, the widow of Sir Roebuck Lynch of Castle Carra.[1] It is located in the village of Partry in County Mayo.[2]
The house remained in the Lynch family from 1667 until 1991.[3] It was the ancestral seat of the Lynch-Blosse baronets.[4]
The house sits on a 250-acre estate of farmland, bogs, and woodland.[5]
