Vice-Regal Residence

A Vice-Regal Residence is the official home of a country's governor, governor-general, or other vice-regal representative. It serves as both a residence and a venue for official ceremonies and diplomatic functions. These residences symbolize the authority of the monarchy or state and are often historic and architecturally significant. They are typically located in capital cities and represent the nation's heritage, hosting events that reinforce national identity and governmental continuity. Examples include Government House in various Commonwealth nations.
