Government House

Government House, located on St Saviour’s Hill, was originally built in 1803 by Reverend Philip Le Breton. In 1814, ship owner Francis Janvrin bought and demolished the house, constructing the current building, named Belmont. In 1822, Lieutenant-Governor Major General Sir Colin Halkett acquired the property. During WWII, the house was occupied by the Germans, with General von Schmettow as Commandant. Today, it serves as the residence of the Lieutenant-Governor, hosting over 3,000 guests annually. It also accommodates royal and important visitors, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s visit in July 2024.

Ceaserean Tennis Club

The Club, established in 1867 as the Caesarean Croquet and Archery Club at Springfield, introduced tennis in 1880. In 1916, it moved to its current location in Grands Vaux, becoming the Caesarean Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club. Today, the Club boasts ten courts, including two indoor ones (six in winter), a thriving membership, and a modern clubhouse with parking. The Club's facilities are continuously improving, and it operates as a not-for-profit organization.
