Buildings
Comeragh House, a landed mansion outside the village, was the home of 19th-century explorer John Palliser, and between 1964 and 1979 was lived in by Dutch art collector Pieter Menten, until he was arrested in the Netherlands and convicted of being a World War 2 war criminal. On his release from prison in 1985, he planned to return to Comeragh House, but was banned by the government from entering Ireland. The house was sold two years later following Menten's death.
