Raj Bhavan, Vijayawada

Raj Bhavan is the official residence and office complex of the Governor of Andhra Pradesh located in Vijayawada. The building contains administrative offices and residential spaces where the governor conducts official duties and hosts ceremonial events.

The building was originally part of the irrigation department before being converted into the governor's residence in 2019. This transformation became necessary after Andhra Pradesh separated from Telangana in 2014 and required its own seat of governance.

The Raj Bhavan represents the constitutional authority in Andhra Pradesh, serving as the center for state ceremonial functions and official meetings.

This is a government facility in Vijayawada that is not open to the public for tours or visits inside the building. You may view it from outside if passing through the area, but access to the interior is restricted to official personnel.

The building has held different purposes over time, having previously served as a High Court location and later as an office for a former Chief Minister. Its transformation reflects how the same space adapted to different governmental needs during periods of administrative change.
