Killarney House is an Irish country house built to replace Kenmare House (1726) as the seat of the Earls of Kenmare. The site was chosen by Queen Victoria during her visit to Ireland in 1861.
In 1978, Mr McShain sold Killarney House and most of the estate to the Irish State at a price well below market value at the time, after receiving assurances that the house and estate would be incorporated into Killarney National Park .
