The Danish Seamen’s Church in Singapore will open the doors to its historic Golden Bell Mansion for a special guided tour on Saturday, 15 August 2026.
Organised together with the Royal Geographical Society – Singapore, the event will explore the history of the mansion on Mount Faber and its transformation into a gathering place for Singapore’s Danish community.
The tour will be led by Roney Tan, the great-great-grandson of prominent Singaporean philanthropist Tan Tock Seng. He will present the origins of the mansion, which was built for his relative Tan Boo Liat in 1910.
Golden Bell Mansion has also hosted several prominent visitors. Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yat Sen stayed at the property during a visit to Singapore in 1911.
Today, the historic building at 10 Pender Road is home to the Danish Seamen’s Church, which serves as a church and cultural meeting place for Danes and other Scandinavians in Singapore.
Danish refreshments will be served before and after the tour.
The event begins at 10.00 and requires registration in advance. Tickets are available through Eventbrite.
