The Gran Kaz Kenwyn House was built in 1855, in French colonial style, for the Chief Medical Examiner Dr. James Henry Brooks. It was later acquired by the Eastern Telegraphic Company, later to become Cable and Wireless Seychelles, to house their engineers. It was declared a National Monument in 1984.
Gran Kaz was operating in a building adjacent to Kenwyn House. It was interested in redeveloping Kevin House. In 2018, Gran Kaz acquired a lease on this monument and along with the owners of the building,Cable and Wireless Seychelles, started a project to restore the building to its former glory. It now functions as a public art gallery, and local Seychellois artists can showcase their works of art. Also on display are artifacts from Gran Kaz who is a custodian of arts and culture in Seychelles.
The Kenwyn House Gallery operates as a purely non-profit entity. This means that not only is it free for the artists to display their work, and free entry for visitors, but it also means that they do not sell any of the artworks on site. Rather, they allow the artists full ownership of sales. The gallery rotates artists on a quarterly basis, ensuring that the art exhibited is always fresh and exciting. Many big names on the local art scene, as well as new faces. have been featured in the Kenwyn House Gallery. The Gallery also aims to encourage amateur artists to continue to develop their skill and passion and by enticing young people to be more involved in this field.
Visitors can also enjoy refreshments in its adjacent tropical garden and gaze at the work of top Seychellois artists in the Kenwyn House gallery.
Kenwyn House Gallery also boasts the first ever Coco de Mer Wall in Seychelles. Set up in collaboration with the Seychelles Island Foundation (SIF), the wall presents the unofficial emblem of the Seychelles, Coco de Mer, in all its forms, shapes and sizes.
Kenwyn House also offers for sale a world-class selection of crafted South African diamonds and other precious gems at duty-free prices, as well as an array of gifts and souvenirs. Diamond SA products are available at the departure terminal of Mahé International Airport and at the Airport at Praslin.
