History

Kilronan comes from the Gaelic ‘Cill Ronain’, which means Ronan’s Abbey, the ruins of which are close by, as well as St Ronan’s Holy well and the hollow stone he used for the baptism of his followers. The original Castle was built in the early 1800’s and belonged to Colonel King Tenison. It was extended by the 12th Earl of Kingston in 1876 with a five storey over basement baronial tower and battlements. During the Edwardian period, the Earl and Countess of Kingston enjoyed the estate until political and social change saw the closure and sale of Kilronan and other country estates both in Ireland and abroad.

The Tenison family originated in Oxfordshire in the era of Edward 1st but fought with the Irish Brigade in France and on behalf of The Pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie. Their colourful history continued through involvement in the Peninsula Wars in Spain and Portugal. They were represented at The Battle of Waterloo where Napoleon was finally defeated and served as members of The Irish Guards in the Boer War. One was a close friend of the poet John Milton. Most generations tended to squander their inheritances but then they or their sons would marry an heiress and their fortunes would bloom again.

Roscommon was famous for music in ancient times and Ireland’s greatest harpist, Turlough O’Carolan, is buried nearby. He was welcomed into the castles of Irish Chieftains like the O’Rourkes of Breifne and his music will live on in special events planned for Kilronan. Soon, Kilronan Castle will be offering the hospitality and traditional welcome that has made its sister estate, Lough Rynn so popular.
