It is nestling in the foothills of Croghan Mountain, the site of a once famous gold rush. == History and places of interest == St. Peter and Paul's Church The church in the village is a Catholic Church and is a Gothic style structure built in 1863. It is known as Ss. Peter and Paul's church and it seats almost 400 people. The architects were Pugin and Ashlin. The Esmonde family of Ballynastragh were major benefactors of the church, their names along with some other benefactors are listed on a plaque inside the church. The prominence of the Esmonde family among the benefactors is reflected in the fact that a special pew at the front of the right aisle was reserved for the family and is still used by them today.

Among the celebrated stars to have spent some time there were Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. Ballynastragh House Ballynastragh House was the home of the Esmonde family and dates back to the 17th century. It was burned down and destroyed by members of the anti-Treaty IRA on 9 March 1923. It was home to a vast historical museum and the destruction of the documents was a loss second only to that which occurred in the Four Courts in 1922. A new house, similar in style, was built on the site shortly afterwards and still exists today. Titania's Palace was for a period kept in Ballynastragh House. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Killinierin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
