The Lou Kau Mansion (traditional Chinese: 盧家大屋; simplified Chinese: 卢家大屋; pinyin: Lújiā Dàwū; Portuguese: Casa de Lou Kau) is a historical house in Sé, Macau, China. Built in 1889, the mansion is one of the designated historical sites in the Historic Centre of Macau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The building was built around 1889 as a home of Lou Kau, a prominent Chinese merchant. The building has been listed as part of the historic center of Macau and a protected property in 1992. In 2002, the Macau Bureau of Culture started the maintenance for the building and was eventually opened to the public in 2005.
Beautiful 2 storey with 3 courtyards building architecture with Portuguese decoration and Chinese architecture style. Entrance if fee of charge.

Beautiful historical house, some people say is haunted, but I don't care, I really enjoy the architecture and design of this house

Looks good in the middle of Portuguese architecture but didn't have a chance to go inside.

The Lou Kau Mansion (free entry) is an interesting World Heritage Attraction found in the area of Senado Square in the Historic City Centre of Macau. The mansion was built around 1889 and belonged to a wealthy local merchant. It provides visitors opportunity to see a typical Chinese style courtyard house constructed of grey-bricks, based on a symmetric arrangement of three separate halls which are connected by passageways yet separated by small inner courtyards. Other elements of traditional Chinese architecture you can see include the decorative plasterwork above hall entrance doors and within the courtyards, the lovely wood carving canopies and screens found within the main halls as well as the furnishing within the mansion house. Lou Kau Mansion is a unique attraction in the Senado Square area, providing a fine example of preserved Chinese architecture in the Historic City Centre. It can be conveniently visited in 10-15 minutes before moving on to other interesting attractions in the area. Tip: There are occasionally free concerts being held at the Lou Kau Mansion. Free exhibitions are also held rather frequently. Tip: For a similar yet more comprehensive attraction, visit the Mandarin House, which is probably the best preserved Chinese style building in Macau and much larger than the Lou Kau Mansion.
