The Lou Kau Mansion (Chinese: 盧家大屋; 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.[1]
The building was built around 1889 as a home of Lou Kau, a prominent Chinese merchant.[2][3][4][5] 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.[6]
