La Vaucluse House it is very close to the port of Sidney and its history is a bit turbulent. It began to be built in 1803 as a small stone house, later William Charles Wentworth managed to turn it into a mansion, a bit irregular. Its construction culminated in 1860.

The mansion is presented in the city with a survivor of the Colonial period. Although the Wentwoth family never managed to be part of the high society of that time. In 1911 the State Government bought the house. The idea was to use it as a public access to the beaches of Sydney. Later the ground floor was opened to the public and since that time it is part of a group of houses that remain intact and are preserved as historical sites. We recommend that you be very careful going up or down stairs and in dimly lit spaces.
