Casa da Dinda, Neoclassical house in Lago Norte, Brazil

Casa da Dinda is a mansion in Lago Norte, Brasília, entered through a white rendered wall with a rounded archway over a dark brown double gate. A dark brown sign with white lettering reads "Casa da Dinda", and a black wrought-iron fan with scrollwork fills the arch above it. Black lanterns flank the arch, and the gate opens onto a paved area with grass and trees.

The house served as the official residence of President Fernando Collor de Mello from 1990 to 1992, a pivotal moment in Brazilian politics. This period defined how the nation's highest leadership lived during that era.

The name honours Dinda, Elisabeth Leopoldina Francolina Schreiner, mother of Lindolfo Collor and great-grandmother of Fernando Collor. On Sundays, school and tourist groups gathered at the gate to watch the president leave for his 30-minute walk. Rosane Malta later claimed the gardens had been used for animal sacrifices.

Casa da Dinda is a private family mansion at Trecho 10, Conjunto 1-5, Setor de Mansões de Lago Norte, in Brasília's Lago Norte district. It is not open to visitors; the gate and gardens can only be seen from the public paved area outside. The Collor de Mello family lives there, so keep to the street and do not attempt to enter.

The gardens were designed by landscaper José Roberto Nehring and received a comprehensive renovation that added new waterfall cascades. This garden layout stands out for its artificial lakes and the diverse tree species planted throughout the property.
