Sans-Souci Palace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sans-Souci Palace was the royal residence of King Henri I (better known as Henri Christophe) of Haiti. Construction of the palace started in 1810 and was completed in 1813. It is located in the town of Milot, Nord Department. An 1842 earthquake destroyed the palace and the nearby city of Cap-Haïtien; the palace was never rebuilt. Its ruins have been designated a World Heritage Site.
