Loving this gorgeous example of Irish architecture in County Cork, not far from where my grandparents were from, #emeraldblood #heritage #proudtobeirish🍀 @the.irish.aesthete - using @RepostRegramApp - Welcome to Ballymacmoy, County Cork a house perched on a promontory over the Blackwater river. The land on which it stands was originally owned by the Nagles but by the early 18th century the estate was leased to the Hennessy family who subsequently bought it outright. Before that date, a younger son called Richard Hennessy, having first served in the French army (in Dillon's Regiment), moved to the Cognac region where he founded the eponymous drinks business. #Ireland #Ballymacmoy #CountyCork #IrishCountryHouse #EntranceHall #Georgian #Hennessy theirishaesthete.com

A Generous Welcome to the World The generous proportions of the front door in the entrance hall at Ballymacmoy, County Cork. Since the early 18th century the house has been home to successive generations of Hennessys, one of whom Richard emigrated to France where he became an officer in the famous Dillon's Regiment before settling in the Cognac region and founding the eponymous family firm.
