Join us to explore the Government House, one of Victoria's finest examples of nineteenth-century architecture characterising high standard of design and craftsmanship of the Gold Rush period.

Designed in the Italianate-style, the building is constructed in stucco-rendered brick on a bluestone foundation. The 48-meter ornamental tower provides a central focus for the three sections of the house – the State Apartments, the Private Apartments, and the Ballroom.

It now serves as the official residence of the Governor of Victoria.
