Hi, Lough Cutra Castle, Co. Galway.

Here's the equivalent Lawrence Collection shot. Plus the OSI Map.

From 1811, per the NIAH. Designed by John Nash (at the DIA).

Here is an early history from IT in 1901 - Viscount Gort, Viscount Gough, Loretto Sisters, Famine etc.

The first Viscount Gough was a Field Marshal in the British Army and was active in both China and India. Among other things, he was the commander of the British Army at Chapoo which was commemorated in an earlier photo: www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/11726154244/in/photolist-...

Archiseek has some details, concluding with: Sold in 1993, and now apartments Looking at Google maps, I think they mean Sold in 1993, demolished, and apartments built on the site. Edit: not all gone, see below.

No surprise buildingsofireland/NIAH has no entry (as it is long gone), but odd there is nothing in the DIA.

A much smaller version in a French/Lawrence L_ROY_04370

One of the pics at Archiseek is in the catalogue as EAS_2022 Megazoom suggests to me that the tennis players are in 1930s outfits.

I think it was run by the Sisters of Charity?

Photo is taken looking south, with Stillorgan village behind the camera. A very new looking Merville rd is south of St. Brigid's church. The fields top left are part of St. John of God's and are still largely fields.
