Kirribilli House, Official residence in Kirribilli, Australia
Kirribilli House stands on Sydney Harbour's North Shore with direct views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay, and the Sydney Opera House.
Built in 1855 by German architect Adolphus Frederic Feez, the Gothic-style structure was purchased by the Australian government in 1920 for official purposes.
The residence functions as the secondary official home for Australian Prime Ministers, complementing The Lodge in Canberra as the primary ministerial residence.
The heritage-listed property opens its doors to public visitors once per year through The Australiana Fund, allowing citizens to explore this national landmark.
The structure features distinctive twin-gabled roofs, decorative fretwork, ornate bargeboards, and bay windows that exemplify the cottage ornée architectural style.
