Partry House is a Georgian country house near Lough Carra in County Mayo and the historic family seat of the Lynch-Blosse baronets. It was built in the 17th century, originally as a dower house, on the ruins of the family's Cloonlagheen Castle.

History

Partry House was built by Arthur Lynch in 1667, on the remains of Cloonlagheen Castle, as a dower house for his mother, Lady Ellis, the widow of Sir Roebuck Lynch of Castle Carra. [1] It is located in the village of Partry in County Mayo. [2]

The house remained in the Lynch family from 1667 until 1991. [3] It was the ancestral seat of the Lynch-Blosse baronets. [4]

The house sits on a 250-acre estate of farmland, bogs, and woodland. [5]
