Government House is the official residence of the governor-general of Saint Lucia.

The first Government House that was built on this site was destroyed by a hurricane in 1817, before its completion.

Government House then relocated to a nearby disused military barracks.

It was originally used as the home and office of the Commissioners of Saint Lucia until 1958, then for the Administratiors of the island.

At the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the Government of St Lucia officially announced it would be installing solar panels on the building in partnership with non-profit Solar Head of State, in order to send a message on the importance of renewable energy.
