Prehen House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prehen House is a privately owned 18th century Irish Georgian house at Prehen in County Londonderry.

Thought to have been designed by local architect Michael Priestley, it was built in 1740 for Andrew Knox, M.P. for Donegal, after he married Prehen heiress Honoria Tomkins two years earlier. Andrew Knox's family owned the house for 170 years.

The Northern Ireland Tourist Board considers Prehen House one of region's most historic houses.[1] The house has also been a European Heritage Open Days site. [2]
