Never religious, this is a plantation house built in 1658, authentically Jacobean and still an active rum distillery. You can pay extra for the supposedly Victorian railway - Loco 5 hauled sugar cane in Java from 1914 but the verandah coaches are modern retro.
St Nicholas Abbey is located in Saint Peter, Barbados, and is a plantation house, museum and rum distillery. Colonel Benjamin Berringer built the house in 1658. This house is one of only three genuine Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere. It is similar to the English Jacobean-era manor houses of the first half of the seventeenth century, the period between the Tudor and Georgian styles, beginning in the reign of James I.

The station was built in 1818 as a lookout, with signals to let the rest of the island know of friendly vessels approaching, godamm French, rebellious slaves or hurricane. Well restored, the tower provides a panorama of the west side of the island. Gardens and a statue of a lion carved out of a single block of stone sits below.
Elegant house dating back to 1660, but refurbished in 2018 as most original fittings had been lost in a fire. It's not large enough to absorb crowds so you need to swerve the cruise tour groups.
