The Gaol built between 1857 and 1864 comprises a complex of bluestone buildings constructed to the designs of the Public Works Department of Victoria. The gaol was built to house offenders from the goldfields and nearby towns, it served various functions in the penal system before it was closed down and its prisoners transferred to HM Prison Loddon in 1990. Today there is a cafe in the Governors residence and the buildings are a local tourist attraction including night-time ghost tours
