Completed in 1930, Tintagel was intended as a residence for Dr. Lucian de Zilwa. In the mid-1940s de Zilwa was given a week to vacate the property by the British military to house one hundred soldiers. The military occupation saw the house wrecked and de Zilwa sold Tintagel to sir Solomon Dias Bandaranaike for his son, Solomon West Ridgeway (S.W.R.D.). It is from this point in time that the house gained recognition as a structure of national importance.
It was here that Ceylon’s political history was decided. S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike became prime minister in 1956 and he was shot on the verandah of Tintagel in 1959 and subsequently died in hospital.
In 1960, his widow, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, became the world’s first female prime minister.
Mrs. Bandaranaike won several elections and was re-elected in 1970 and 1994, thereby becoming the longest serving prime minister of Sri Lanka.

In 1983, their only son, Anura Bandaranaike became leader of the opposition, speaker of the house of parliament in 2000 and a minister of several ministries of government.
