Government House, Official residence and national historic site in Victoria, Canada

The multi-story stone building features Victorian architectural elements with formal reception halls, state rooms, and administrative offices for the Lieutenant Governor.

Constructed in 1865 as the residence for colonial Lieutenant Governors, the building underwent reconstruction in 1903 and 1957 following two destructive fires.

Government House maintains a collection of British Columbia artworks, furniture, and decorative objects that represent the province's heritage through different periods.

The gardens remain open daily from dawn to dusk, while guided tours of the interior require advance registration through the official website.

The residence includes a rose garden with 500 bushes and native plant collections that showcase the botanical diversity of British Columbia.
