Maduwanwela Walawwa, Mansion in Maduwanwela, Sri Lanka.

Maduwanwela Walawwa is a walawwa in Maduwanwela, between Embilipitiya and Rakwana, Sri Lanka. It stands on a black stone platform about 3 feet high and has three entrances with moonstones carved with elephant figures. The building retains 43 rooms and 7 inner courtyards, with a pond and fountain in the main courtyard. The roof uses flat tiles from the Kandy period, and the corridors have blue glass windows and floors decorated with porcelain shards.

The mansion was built in the 1700s by Maduwanwela Maha Mohottala and expanded to over a hundred rooms by 1905 under Maduwanwela Maha Disawe's direction. This growth reflected the family's increasing power in local administration during that era.

The courthouse within the mansion served as a hub for local judicial decisions and accommodated roughly a hundred people. Visitors can observe furniture and implements that reveal how justice operated under local administration.

The walawwa stands near the 14th-mile post on the Embilipitiya–Suriyakanda road, about 207 km from Colombo. The site is administered as a museum by the Department of Archaeology. Paths and floors are uneven, so sturdy footwear helps when walking through the rooms and courtyards.

The 'Punchi Bangalawa' hall holds a door said to have been taken from the Dutch fort at Katuwana, carved from a single jackwood plank about three feet wide and two and a half inches thick. Nearby, the corridor floor is inlaid with porcelain tiles bearing a portrait of Queen Victoria, which some scholars read as the Disawe's contempt for British rule.
