Adare was built in the 13th century as a heritage town on the Maigue river. It was a market town in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century the thatched houses that Adare is known for were built by the Earl of Dunraven. In 1232 the church built a monastery which was later restored in 1852 by the Countess of Dunraven.
