OUR STORY
The Old Kirk & Manse is a period Presbyterian church and residence built in 1856. It sits on one acre within a mature walled garden in a tranquil village called Hollymount, an unspoiled and picturesque part of Ireland. Melissa and Shane Gilligan purchased The Old Kirk & Manse in 2021 with a love of old buildings and a passion for creating a space full of wonder and relaxation. The couple spent two years renovating the property and returning it to its former glory.
