| Abbeyglen Castle Hotel was built in 1832 by John d'Arcy of Clifden
Castle. 33 years before Mitchell Henry built Kylemore Abbey in 1865.
D'Arcy, who founded Clifden in 1812, was considered a leader of
the community and was frequently consulted by the local constabulary
in time of trouble or unrest. Following d'Arcy's death, his son
Mitchen sold the property to the Irish Church Mission Society in
1854. As a result of the Famine the castle estate hit troubled times
and the property fell derelict. In 1969, the Joyce family, then
owners, sold the property to the Hughes family, who through the
years have improved Abbeyglen Castle Hotel and gardens to their
present state. |

| Please note: that although its name does include
the word 'castle', Abbeyglen is in fact a manor house hotel as opposed
to an actual castle. |
