    More about Vivekananda House, Chennai and Historical Information

    Earlier known as Ice House or Castle Kernan, the Vivekananda House is a historic building constructed in 1842 by Fredric Tudor. Swami Vivekananda stayed in the building when he visited Chennai in 1897, after which the building was renamed in his honor.

    The two-story building reflects the epitome of Victorian architecture with its standout designs of sunburst and saddleback roofs. The bedroom that Vivekananda spent six weeks in is now a place for devotees to meditate and attain inner peace.

    Visitors can walk through the kitchen where Vivekananda cooked food, the parlor where he spoke and the garden where he played with children. These reminders of Vivekananda’s life infuse a sense of calmness and detachment among people that stay with you throughout your life.
