Government House, Official residence in Saint Saviour, Jersey.
The Government House stands as a two-story villa with mahogany interior elements and a notable main staircase on Saint Saviour's heights.
The property, initially named Belmont, was built in 1814 by shipowner François Janvrin before becoming the Lieutenant-Governor's residence in 1822.
The Government House functions as a ceremonial venue for state receptions and meetings with foreign dignitaries representing Jersey's constitutional monarchy.
The grounds of Government House incorporate the former Ruette du Sacrement, which was replaced by the current Governor's Hill road.
During World War II, German General von Schmettow, commander of the Channel Islands, occupied the residence throughout the occupation period.
