Old Beechworth Gaol

The Old Beechworth Gaol is a significant post-European cultural site and one of Australia's most notable prisons. It was constructed in the 1860s with granite quarried onsite and features stunning gold rush architecture. The gaol offers guided tours, which run for approximately 50 minutes, and a cafe serving locally roasted coffee and homemade treats. The gaol has a rich history, having housed famous prisoners such as Ned Kelly and his family. It is now open to visitors, offering a glimpse into its past and the events that led to the execution of Ned Kelly. The gaol's iron gates and cell blocks are still intact, and visitors can explore the site to learn more about its history
