​Loughcrew’s house and gardens, along with several other historical features dotted throughout the 200 acres of grounds as well as the Neolithic cairns found within the surrounding countryside – some of Ireland’s oldest archaeological treasures – form part of an Irish landscape steeped in religious significance.
Saint Oliver Plunkett’s church which dates back to the 17th century still stands within the grounds of Loughcrew estate. His family lived on the estate, in a tower house attached to the church, before the estate was taken by Oliver Cromwell in 1641 – it is said that he destroyed the church roof.
