Known by locals as ‘Pedro Castle’, this historic Great House stands as the oldest surviving stone structure in the Cayman Islands, rich in cultural and historical significance.

Built in 1780 by Englishman William Eden with enslaved labor, it has played many roles over the centuries, including a cotton plantation, courthouse, jail, and Government Assembly. It’s famously where Cayman’s first elected parliament convened in 1831 and where the abolition of slavery was declared in 1835.

Despite enduring hurricanes, fires, and legends of hauntings, the beautifully restored Pedro Castle remains a proud symbol of Cayman’s heritage.
