Garbally House

Garbally House is an elegant house built by Lord Clancarty in the 17th century. It has two floors and fine views over Ballinasloe. It is situated beside Garbally College (Garbally Court), which is a secondary school in Ballinasloe County Galway. It has a spire, pond, steps (that have no use but are nicknamed the 40 steps) and tunnels (that are closed) on its grounds.

It was once used as a hospital by the English after the Battle of Aughrim, 1691. It was bought by a priest in the late 20th century.
