Beit Govrin Police Station, Police station and heritage site in Beit Guvrin, Israel.
Beit Govrin Police Station is a government building and heritage site in Beit Guvrin. The two-story structure has guard towers, firing loopholes, and a fortified courtyard that reflect its strong defensive design.
The building was constructed in 1942 during the British Mandate as a strategic control point for the region. It formed part of a wider military infrastructure designed to maintain order across the surrounding area.
The building displays the characteristic style of British fortified structures from the 1940s, featuring defensive elements visible throughout Palestine at that time. Visitors can see how this design conveyed both security and authority to the surrounding population.
Visitors can explore the building during designated opening hours to see the preserved structure firsthand. Guided tours are available to help explain the local law enforcement history and the site's architectural features.
The site still functions as an active police station while preserving its original design as a national heritage property. This dual purpose is uncommon and shows how a military-era building continues to serve the community today.
