Government House

Government House is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, a stately mansion built in the early 19th century in the Georgian architectural style. Located on the outskirts of Halifax, it sits amid manicured gardens that provide a serene setting overlooking the surrounding landscape. Visitors can explore the grounds during designated open hours, appreciating the exterior design and the historical context of the building. Nearby, the vibrant North End and the Halifax Citadel offer additional insights into the city’s rich history. The gardens are especially lovely in spring when blooms are at their peak.
