St. Nicholas Abbey is a historical plantation house located in the parish of St. Peter, Barbados. It was built in 1650 and is one of only three Jacobean-style mansions remaining in the Western Hemisphere. The house, which is made of locally quarried coral stone, has been fully restored and is now a museum open to the public.

The property, which covers over 400 acres, includes a sugar factory, a rum distillery, and a variety of other buildings and structures related to the original sugar plantation. Visitors can tour the main house, the rum distillery, and the sugar factory, and learn about the history of sugar production in Barbados and the life of the plantation's former owners and slaves.
