Parteen A Lax – A Riverside Estate with Heritage, Elegance, and Enchantment just outside Limerick City
Set along the tranquil banks of the River Shannon, Parteen A Lax and its eight acres of parkland, riverbank and gardens is only separated from the hustle of Limerick City by less than a mile of river.
Once part of the ancestral lands of the O’Brien chieftains, the estate carries echoes of a noble past—where ancient stone, whispered tales, and warm hospitality converge.
At the heart of the grounds lies a beautiful deconsecrated church, now a breathtaking venue for weddings, dinners, parties and special events. Surrounded by mature trees and moss-covered walls, it offers a sacred sense of place—perfect for unforgettable moments.
The estate commands the northern end of the ancient salmon weir, from which the house gets its viking name and overlooks the castle of the weir and St Thomas's Island, site of the Abbey of St Thomas Aquinas which was destroyed in the 16th century.
Once a private house, Parteen A Lax now invites visitors from around the world to feel the history from the comfort of its charming rooms and assortment of architectural styles. Guests may choose to stay in individually styled bedrooms, rent the entire Georgian main house, or reserve the full estate for exclusive gatherings.
The estate at Parteen A Lax is more than a retreat; it’s a place where stories live. While local folklore speaks of river spirits that once danced beneath the moonlight, of chieftains who held council beneath ancient oak woods, and of secret pathways that led to hidden wishing wells, Parteen A Lax invites you to add your visit to the estates history.
