Navy House, Trincomalee, Colonial naval residence in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka.
Navy House stands as the official residence of the Sri Lanka Navy Commander within the grounds of SLN Dockyard, featuring colonial architectural elements.
The British Royal Navy purchased this commanding residence in 1810 for £1,750, serving as headquarters for the Commander-in-Chief of the East Indies Station.
The building incorporates architectural elements that reflect the merger of British colonial design with Sri Lankan maritime traditions in its structural composition.
The Navy House maintains restricted access as it functions as an administrative center for naval operations and ceremonial events in eastern Sri Lanka.
A ceremonial bell, installed in 1850 by Rear-Admiral Charles Austen, remains at the property as a testament to its naval heritage.
