It was our first time In Ireland & Niamh went above & beyond helping us plan every detail of this trip, from places to sightsee, restaurants, arranging groceries & even transportation. The pictures of this estate are gorgeous but the house is even more beautiful in person. Perfect for a big group, we had 11 plus a baby & had rooms to spare & bathrooms for everyone. There’s so much to do at the house, explore the grounds, hang out in bar & game room or relax in the hot tub, we could’ve spent a whole week just there. We were truly so spoiled. Don’t miss this hidden gem. ." Katie, U.S.A - July 2023 During Your Stay Interaction with guests We are very much led by the guests on this one. We are always on hand to offer advice or arrange any extras you may need, but we will leave you to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. The Team Although our horses are mainly out of competition during the summer, a groom attends daily to keep an eye on the stable yard - which is not accessible to guests. Gardeners will need to attend a few days each week. They will make sure not to interrupt your stay. The owners may need to stay in one of the cottages onsite for short periods - season dependant. All these activities will be carried out discreetly, access will be via a separate driveway and will not affect your privacy. Home

Welcome to a remarkable chapter of our local history. Johannes Matthaeus Koelz (1895–1971) was an acclaimed German Expressionist painter whose life was defined by immense moral courage and artistic brilliance. After surviving the trenches of the Western Front, Koelz became an ardent anti-militarist, choosing to dismantle his own 24-foot anti-war triptych to save it from Nazi destruction before escaping Germany. In 1968 he discovered our little village of Curraglass. In this peaceful Irish setting, just steps from Lisnabrin House, Koelz spent quiet days amongst the community here. Johannes Matthaeus Koelz It was a huge honour to welcome Ava Farrington, Johannes' daughter, and Simon Lake (who authored the comprehensive biography, The Painter’s Hidden Masterpiece: The Story of Johannes Matthaeus Koelz) to an evening celebrating this great artist and his life. Video In the Garden, Apple Trees, Curraglass, Co. Cork Johannes Matthaeus Koelz (1895–1971) led an extraordinary life marked by profound courage, artistic brilliance, and a firm moral stand against the horrors of war. Early Life and World War I Background: Born on March 31, 1895, in Mühldorf am Inn, Bavaria, into a Catholic family. He showed great promise as an artist from an early age. The Trenches: His studies at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts were interrupted by the outbreak of World War I.He served as an infantry officer on the Western Front and was awarded the Iron Cross for bravery after rescuing a wounded soldier at Verdun in 1916. A Shift in Perspective: The brutal realities of trench warfare, alongside the tragic death of his brother in action, profoundly changed him. The decorated war hero emerged from the conflict as a committed pacifist and anti-militarist. The Masterpiece and Escape "Thou Shalt Not Kill!": After the war, Koelz worked as a police officer while continuing his art studies. Between 1930 and 1937, he secretly painted his magnum opus: a monumental, 24-foot-wide anti-war triptych titled Thou Shalt Not Kill! (Du Sollst Nicht Töten). The shocking and powerful work depicted a crucified dead German soldier wearing a gas mask, surrounded by praying soldiers and priests blessing weapons. Defying the Regime: In 1937, he faced imminent arrest for "pacifist propaganda" (and, according to historical accounts, refused an incredibly lucrative offer to paint a portrait of Adolf Hitler). To prevent his masterpiece from being destroyed by the regime, Koelz made the agonizing decision to cut the massive painting into smaller pieces at a local sawmill, distributing the fragments to trusted friends and family to hide. Exile: Now a refugee, he fled Germany with his wife Claire and their children, journeying through Austria and Prague before arriving in England in 1939. His hardships continued when he was briefly interned and shipped to Australia as an "enemy alien" in 1940, though he later returned to the UK to serve in the Pioneer Corps. Time in Curraglass, Co. Cork Following the immense turbulence of the war years and the passing of his wife Claire in 1957, Koelz sought a quieter existence. In 1968, Buying a small cottage (unseen from a newspaper advert) in the rural Irish village Curraglass Co. Cork, he divided his latter years between Shelton (Stoke-on-Trent, England) and Curraglass, County Cork, Ireland. His time in Ireland was characterised by a peaceful but highly productive return to his art. His daughter Ava, explains how welcome he felt and he made many friends in the local area. In the tranquil, rural surroundings of Curraglass, Koelz continued to actively paint and sculpt. Moving away from the monumental political statements of his past, his later years in Ireland and England were spent drawing and painting numerous portraits, still lifes, and expressive landscapes, as well as engaging in book illustration. After a life defined by displacement, political persecution, and the fragmentation of his greatest artwork, Curraglass offered Koelz a much-needed sanctuary to dedicate his final years to his craft. He passed away in Stoke-on-Trent on July 3, 1971. A Lasting Legacy Decades after his death, his daughter Ava Farrington and art curators managed to track down several surviving fragments of Thou Shalt Not Kill! scattered across Europe. Today, pieces like the "Dead Soldier" and "Boy's Praying Hands" are held at the Leicester Museum & Art Gallery in the UK, ensuring that Koelz's artistic brilliance and his message of peace endure.
