Provand’s Lordship

The oldest home in Glasgow, the Provand's Lordship, was constructed in 1471 and is located in the city's oldest neighborhood. It has undergone substantial restoration and is one of Glasgow's four remaining medieval structures. The bishop of Glasgow, Andrew Muirhead, constructed Provand's Lordship, which was formerly a portion of St. Nicholas's Hospital, which was located to the south of the residence.

The house, which may have initially been constructed for the leader of the nearby hospital, is thought to have formed a component of the lodging for the 32 canons of the Cathedral Chapter, each of whom represents a region of the Glasgow Diocese. Provand's Lordship offers a glimpse at what a house would have looked like inside in the 1700s. The three-story house features a spiral staircase that connects the floors, a gallery, and interiors of homes from the 1500s to 1700s, including wooden furniture. False floors have also been installed to protect the original oak floor beams.

The St. Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art is housed in a castle-like building that was built in 1993 and is visible from the home today across a busy street. Provand’s Lordship is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Glasgow
