Government House, also sometimes called The Governor's House, Hope Province or the Hope Mansion, is the official residence of the Governor of the Hope Province, currently Johan de Vilock. It has been the official residence of the Governor of the Hope Province since 1900, but previously was the residence of the Governor of Satavia from 1801 to 1816, and then again as the residence of the Governor-General from 1801-1900. The building was nearly burned down in 1866, but narrowly avoided destruction.
In 2013, the building went through a 1.5 Million Guilder restoration and refurbishment process, and was completed in late 2014.
