The history of Fresnaye began with a 200-acre (81 ha) estate acquired in the early 1800s by Ryk Le Sueur, a barrister and French aristocrat from Bayeux in Normandy, a descendant of the French Huguenots. Originally named Winterslust (Winter's Delight), the farmhouse was, at the time, the solitary building on these mountain slopes, with the exception of Heeren Huis near Bantry Bay, built in 1776.
