Histoire
Ardfry House is a ruined country house located on a peninsula in Galway Bay near Oranmore in County Galway, Ireland. It was built in the 18th century on the site of a 9th century moated castle. It is a two-storey, double-pile house. The surrounding estate includes outbuildings and a walled orchard. Ardfry was originally home to politician Joseph Blake and became the seat of the Baron Wallscourt. By the 1820s, the house had fallen into a state of dilapidation. The 3rd Baron Wallscourt used his wife's dowry to pay for restoration work, which added a number of Gothic Revival features to the house such as pinnacles and quatrefoils. An oyster farm was created by Lord Wallscourt in the Bay in 1902.
