Dromolond Castle

One of the location photo shoots here in Ireland was held at Dromoland Castle in County Clare. This majestic edifice stands tall and proud in the lush Irish countryside today just as it did when it was built in the early Eighteenth Century. One of the most famous baronial castles in Ireland, Dromoland was the ancestral home of the O’Briens, Barons of Inchiquin, who are one of the few native Gaelic families of royal blood and direct descendants of Brian Boroimhe (Boru) High King of Ireland in the eleventh century.
In the 1960′s the castle underwent major renovations to transform the ancestral home into a luxury hotel and quite recently a consortium of mainly Irish American investors purchased the castle and estate. Through their continued investment and management, the castle has enjoyed a worldwide reputation for excellence and is regarded as one of the great resorts in Europe.
What a historic and yet contemporary location to host and event and photograph!
