Strokestown Park

Palaces and Aristocratic Residences

Strokestown Park is a Palladian style Georgian house built around 1735 in Strokestown, County Roscommon, in the northwest of Ireland, designed by the architect Richard Castle on an estate of about 300 acres. The Mahon family held the property from the 1600s until 1981, beginning with a land grant of about 2,700 acres to Captain Nicholas Mahon in 1666 and expanding the estate to more than 11,000 acres by the 18th century. During the Great Famine the Mahon family evicted about 3,000 people from the estate in 1847 and organized assisted emigration to Canada. The house today holds the National Famine Museum, has been managed by the Irish Heritage Trust since 2016, and reopened to the public after extensive restoration in 2022.
