This old castle became a grand historic structure featuring a massive historic stone façade, complete with towers and turret which became home of the Guinness family which hosted countless notables over the years including The Prince of Wales, King George V, and President Ronald Reagan, and served as a backdrop for the movie “The Quiet Man” in 1951. Sir Benjamin Guinness acquired the property back in 1852 and over a span of 63 years, the Guinness family extended it to 26,000 acres.
