Presidential Palace, Presidential palace in Kaloum district, Conakry, Guinea

The Sekhoutoureah Presidential Palace is the official residence and office of the president of Guinea, located in the Kaloum district of Conakry behind the Sainte-Marie Cathedral. Built by China on the site of the former governors' palace, it was inaugurated in 1988 and became the working presidential palace in 2010.

Under French colonial rule, Governor-General Noël Ballay used a colonial-style residence as the governors' palace. At independence in 1958 it became the presidential palace of Ahmed Sékou Touré, who lived and worked there until the building was demolished in 1983. China built the present palace on that site; it was inaugurated in 1988 by Lansana Conté, who did not occupy it. It only became the working presidential palace in 2010 under Alpha Condé, and renovation work began on 11 March 2025.

The palace sits at the center of political life in Guinea and serves as the setting for state ceremonies and meetings with foreign officials. From outside the perimeter, visitors can see the formal layout of the grounds and the uniformed guards at the gates.

The compound is not open to the public and is under strict military control, so entry requires official authorization. The building can only be viewed from the streets outside the security perimeter.

In September 2021, the compound was the site of a military action that changed Guinea's political course, an event that drew worldwide attention. This makes it one of the few presidential residences in the world to have played such a direct role in a recent change of power.
