Pradumna Saraf
★★★★★8 months agoThis mansion beautiful from inside to outside. It has a lot of history. When you enter, the structure looks simple, but it is very complex, and it is crazy how it is still standing. You will see some really old chairs and tables. It is a short walk from St. Paul and definitely worth visiting.
Wisanu Tuntawiroon
★★★★★8 months agoLou Kau Mansion is one of Macau’s most striking reminders of its multicultural past. Tucked just a short walk from Senado Square, this beautifully preserved residence of Lou Kau—a prominent 19th-century Chinese merchant—offers a rare look into the lifestyle of a wealthy family during Macau’s trading boom. The moment you step inside, the mansion impresses with its elegant blend of Chinese and Western architectural influences. Intricate wooden carvings, lattice windows, and open courtyards sit harmoniously alongside subtle European touches. Every room feels thoughtfully designed, from the atmospheric reception halls to the tranquil internal courtyards that let in natural light.
