Government House, Official residence in Saint Saviour, Jersey.

Government House is a two-storey building with pale cream rendered walls and a dark slate roof, standing behind a lawn with flower beds in Saint Saviour. A lower flat-roofed wing extends to the right, its ground-floor windows framed by green climbing plants. The interior retains mahogany brought from South America by shipowner François Janvrin, including the main staircase.

The building was constructed in 1814 by shipowner François Janvrin and was originally named Belmont. It became the official residence of the Lieutenant-Governor in 1822.

The Government House functions as a ceremonial venue for state receptions and meetings with foreign dignitaries representing Jersey's constitutional monarchy.

The house stands in Saint Saviour above Saint Helier, reached by St Saviour's Hill, known in Jèrriais as Lé Mont du Gouvèrneux. The drive was once part of La Ruette du Sacrement, the lane to Saint Saviour's Church, bought in 1810. The 12-acre grounds fall away into a valley and hold an ornamental lake and fountain made in 2009, visible from the road.

The 1989 £50 Jersey banknote carried an image of Government House on its reverse, so the building once appeared on circulating currency. The grounds also hold a flagpole; the lieutenant-governor's flag is raised there only while he is on the island.
