The Restoration of Ballyfin

The restoration project to restore Ballyfin to its former glory began in 2002, an epic and ambitious undertaking that involved a vast team. Historians, architects, conservators and master craftsmen including Irish landscape designer Jim Reynolds, joined the dedicated owners of the property – now the Krehbiel family – to painstakingly revive this extraordinary building, as well as update it to include every contemporary comfort. Original details were conserved using extensive archival research and traditional techniques, bringing Ballyfin’s famous opulence and grandeur back to life. What stands today is a Ballyfin that spans the centuries: a home woven into the cultural fabric of this remarkable landscape and a tribute to all those who helped shape this extraordinary living, breathing monument to Ireland’s rich heritage
