About Clifden Castle

Clifden Castle is a ruined manor residence west of the town of Clifden inside the Connemara location of County Galway, Ireland. It becomes constructed c. 1818 for John D'Arcy, the neighborhood landowner, in the Gothic Revival fashion. Uninhabited after 1894 it fell into disrepair. In 1935, ownership handed to a collection of tenants, who have been to own it mutually, and it quick have become a break. John D Arcy 1785 to 1839, founder of Clifden, had this house built for himself and his own family even while he became busy constructing up the metropolis.

The Castle dates from around 1818 and served as the main dwelling of the large D Arcy own family for the subsequent many years. The land surrounding it changed into many of the first tired and reclaimed within the Clifden location by means of D'Arcy. In 1839, John D'Arcy died and his oldest son, Hyacinth, inherited the estate. However, Hyacinth 1806 to 1874 was no longer as adept as his father at jogging the own family residences and at dealing with his tenants. More disastrously, in 1845 the famine struck. Hunger, hunger and fever incapacitated big numbers of human beings because the potato crop failed. In desperation, many emigrated. As a result, rent profits of the D Arcy plunged. On 21 September 1846, Hyacinth D Arcy's tenants accumulated en masse on his front garden, begging for work or meals.
