Old Connaught House
Old Connaught House is an 18th-century house located in Rathmichael, Dublin, Ireland.[1][2] Though originally built for bishop William Gore, shortly after his death in 1784 it was leased by William Plunket (later Baron Plunket).[3] The house was occupied by the Plunket family for several generations, before being used by the Congregation of Christian Brothers as a novitiate school in the mid 20th century.[2]
The house remained unoccupied for several years before being leased to a non-profit equestrian organisation.[2] It was sold in 2000, renovated, and is now a development of residential apartments.[3]
