Longwood House, Colonial museum building in Saint Helena.
The spacious stone residence features thick walls, period furnishings, and multiple rooms arranged across two floors with Napoleon's personal artifacts on display.
Napoleon Bonaparte occupied Longwood House from 1815 until his death in 1821, following his defeat at Waterloo and subsequent exile to Saint Helena.
The residence contains collections of French imperial memorabilia, military items, and historical documents that highlight the connection between France and Saint Helena.
Guided tours through the museum operate daily from 10:00 to 16:00, with English and French-speaking guides explaining the historical context of each room.
The residence maintains Napoleon's original copper bathtub, where he spent hours reading and discussing strategy with his remaining loyal officers.
