About Lou Kau Mansion
Lou Kau Mansion (Casa de Lou Kau), built around 1889, was the home of Lou Kau, a banker and businessman honoured by the King of Portugal in 1890. It is a two-storey grey-brick Chinese courtyard house in the Xiguan style, with western touches such as mother-of-pearl window panes, balustrades and perforated wooden ceilings like those in Macau's churches. Part of the Historic Centre of Macau, it stands near Senado Square and Cathedral Square.
