Government House

Ascend the hill behind Frederik Lutheran Church and you’ll come to a grand white mansion housing the territorial governor's offices. It was built between 1865 and 1867, and restored in 1994. You can't go inside, but there’s a pretty little park with a fountain and benches in front offering good sea views.
