Adare Manor

Large house in the Tudor style at Adare, County Limerick, Republic of Ireland. The original house was probably built in the 1720s for the 1st Earl of Dunraven, Valentine Quinn. It was enlarged from 1832 by the 2nd Earl of Dunraven in the Tudor style with assistance from the architect James Pain. Later the English architect A W N Pugin was employed to design interior details and, following his death in 1852, P C Hardwick continued the work. Adare boasts some of the most impressive interiors in Ireland, including a Great Gallery which contains a fine stained-glass window by Thomas Willement and an imposing timbered roof. The house was finally completed by 1862 and is now a hotel.
