Donamon Castle

It was the seat of the Ó Fionnachta chief of Clann Chonnmhaigh, one of the two main branches of this Connacht family.

[4] In 1232, Adam de Staunton fortified the site further as part of the Norman conquest, but that structure was retaken and demolished by the native O'Connors the following year.

During the seventeenth century, a junior branch of the Caulfeild family came to own the castle and surrounding territory, and continued to own it throughout the Protestant Ascendancy.

The missionary society constructed several new buildings to create a campus for training people before they went into the field.

[citation needed] The training campus was managed by the Irish Wheelchair Association as a "National Holiday Centre" until its closure in 2019.
