The Residency Lucknow, British colonial building complex in Lucknow, India.
The Residency consists of numerous buildings with high walls and archways that bear visible traces of cannon fire from historical conflicts.
Built between 1780 and 1800, the complex endured the Siege of Lucknow during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, sustaining heavy damage.
The complex represents a period of British colonial governance in India, with its architecture reflecting European designs adapted to local conditions.
Visitors can explore the grounds from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available and a nightly light and sound show illustrating historical events.
The cemetery within the complex contains 2000 graves, including that of Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence with a specific inscription about empire duty.
