The Home of the former Sekibobo of Buganda, and grand father of the king of Buganda Muwenda Mutebi II




2.Kampala's oldest house. It is in Kasubi and was built before Mwanga became king of Buganda as Henry Lubega explores.Located in Zalwango Zone in Kasubi, off Hoima road, the house is part of the greater Kasubi Tombs site according to Musenero Mawejje, whose great grandfather was the chief brewer in the royal palace.The 10-roomed house was built in late 1880s by youthful Mwanga, as his homestead. The first structure was grass- thatched. When he was crowned king in 1884 culture demanded that he builds a palace. He relocated to Masaja, where he built his first palace called Mukulutatamakaage(an elder of the home doesn't abandon it). This palace did not last because he left it to build the present- day Twekobe in Mengo.

When he went to Masaja the house was left to the Basenero, the king's brewers. During the turbulent times of his reign, he never returned to the place until when he died in exile.
