Governor's Mansion
Dinh Chúa Đảo
A French colonial official residence completed in 1876, where more than twenty prison governors lived. It is now an exhibition hall.
The Governor's Mansion stands along the seafront road in Con Son town. It was built by the French colonial authorities as the residence of the director of the Con Dao (main island) prison. It has yellow walls, red tiles, and a gallery courtyard, and the surrounding area has old French-style buildings and mature trees. It now serves as an exhibition hall, displaying artifacts from the prison's history and information about governors from different periods. Tickets are sold separately from the prison ruins, and a visit takes about 30 minutes. From here you can walk to Pier 914 and the seafront.
