Osu Castle is no longer the seat of government. The seat of government is now the [[Jubilee House]]. This name is now gazetted after being changed from its former name, [[The Flagstaff House]]. Many international dignitaries have visited the castle while in the region, including U.S. Presidents [[Richard Nixon]], [[Bill Clinton]], [[Barack Obama]] and German Chancellor [[Gerhard Schröder]]. Additional rooms were built in order to accommodate [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]]'s visit in 1961, one year after Ghana became a republic.<ref name = "GH Castle" />

The present castle is made up of various extensions to the original and is thus in an unorthodox shape. It has many facilities for the use of employees, including a clinic, café, shopping centre and a post office. It also still accommodates a permanent garrison. The extensive gardens feature a wide variety of plants, both local and imported, and employ 30 people. They are used for the president's outdoor receptions and parties.<ref name = "GH Castle" /> The Castle is closed to walk-in visitors.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ghanamuseums.org/forts/fort-christianburg.php|title=Ghana Museums & Monuments Board|website=www.ghanamuseums.org|access-date=2019-10-19}}</ref>{{Portal|Africa|Norway|Denmark}}
