Welcome to the second abandoned Ireland exploration today
we're going to travel on a short explore through at our house mansion dating to the
1400s having been fought over in civil wars it was later expanded with extra wings in the
1700s in the 1800's
Crenellations and decorative towers were added and then it fell slowly to ruin sometime in the last hundred years
Now surrounded by farmland and forgotten it sits empty and alone
Let's take a look inside
The Lord of this mansion was a fashionable man who kept a chained evil at the door and rare birds of prey
He had received medical training and helped the poor people in the area with their ailments at no cost
There was a fine garden here and a number of outbuildings as well a few remain in use today
Once three stories most has fallen to ruin you might still notice signs of what was here however like this March
Further in are more signs of the decorative additions this would have been well lit in the day from many large windows
a
Small forest of trees grows on the dangerous inaccessible upper floors
You
The secret of this place lies inside the great ground-floor halls still here after so long
The original medieval ceiling and alcoves remain as well
You
A steer to nowhere access to the tower above has long ago crumbled away
a
large fireplace
Sits across from a collapsed wall section this leads into what may have been a guardroom or small bathroom
As with any colorful historic character there are stories of good deeds and bad while the owner did treat the poor for free
He was also known to have locked a rich lady of the time in a dark chamber and to have had servants threaten her with
Metal rods as a treatment for what was known at the time as the vapors
Today this imagined illness is often simply known as depression bipolar syndrome
PMS are simply fainting from wearing a tight corset
Whatever his merits in the end the doctor left his mansion to ruin so that we might witness now today
What is left by nature for us all if you enjoyed this exploration please subscribe?
