Kilgobbin House
Kilgobbin House is a country house in Adare, County Limerick, Ireland. The history of the house began in 1777 when Sir Richard Quin (later 1st Earl of Dunraven) married Lady Muriel Fox-Strangeways, daughter of the first Earl of Ilchester. Richard's father gave him Kilgobbin, where the couple lived until he inherited Adare Manor.[1] It was the original seat of the Quin family, and served as the dower house after the construction of Adare Manor.[2] It was the family home of Thady Wyndham-Quin, 7th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl, who sold Adare Manor as a hotel in the 1980s.[3]
