It is the oldest castle in Ireland and since its construction it has passed through different hands. From Richard Bingham, President of Connaught, to Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness, and later to his son, Lord Ardilaun, who ordered its remodeling and added the west wing. Noel Huggard, a hotel businessman, bought the Ashford Castle in 1915 to establish a first-class hotel.
