Bellamont House (sometimes Bellamont Forest) is a Georgian Palladian-style house set amongst 1,000 acres of grounds in Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland. The house was completed in 1730 for Judge Thomas Coote and likely designed by his nephew, the architect Edward Lovett Pearce.[1][2][3][4]
It is considered to be one of the finest examples of Palladian architecture in Ireland and was originally loosely modelled on the Villa La Rotonda in Vicenza, Italy.[5][6][7]
