Government House, Saint Lucia

The Government House stands as a mansion with colonial design elements, featuring multiple rooms for state functions and formal gardens around the structure.

The current Government House, completed in November 1895 at a cost of £8,800, replaced several previous structures that served as gubernatorial residences.

The building represents Saint Lucia's governmental traditions through its role in hosting national ceremonies, state receptions, and diplomatic meetings.

Tours of Government House require advance arrangements through the Office of the Governor-General, with specific protocols for dress and conduct.

Between 1829 and 1834, four successive governors died within the previous Government House location, leading to concerns about the building's location.
