For more than 130 years this heritage site has been the official residence of Canada's Governors General.

It is also a symbolic home for all Canadians. Its rooms have seen our history in the making. Its treasures proclaim the varied cultural traditions of Canada and the creative energies that make our country great.

We hope you enjoy exploring the residence and grounds of Rideau Hall in this virtual tour. We hope that, one day, you will have the opportunity to visit in person.

Now, let's step inside historic Rideau Hall and begin the tour.
