Government House

Local nameGovernment House
LocationStanley, Falkland Islands

Government House in Stanley has been the home of the Falkland Islands' Governors since the mid-19th century. The official residence was built in 1845.

The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica says in the Falkland Islands article that "Government House, grey, stone-built and slated, calls to mind a manse in Shetland or Orkney."

Sir Ernest Shackleton stayed here during his famous expedition. Allegedly, he described his time there as being "far colder than any time on the ice".
