Castlehyde East

edit

Castlehyde East (Caisleán an Éidigh Thoir) is the biggest of the three Castlehyde townlands spanning 488.86 acres (1.9783 km²). It is the location of Castlehyde house, the ancestral home of Douglas Hyde and currently one of the many homes of Irish dancer, Michael Flatley. The house was built circa 1790. Located north of the house is Castlehyde Church Ruins. The church was dated in 1809 and remodelled circa 1830. It is now disused. Just across the road from the church is Castlehyde Stud, which is owned by Coolmore, the world's largest breeding operation of thoroughbred racehorses.
