Interesting facts about the PLANTATION HOUSE:

The old Plantation House in La Passe on Silhouette is a building of great dignity and grace, typical of the Creole architectural style, which always provides for a spacious veranda leading around the whole building and a staircase on each side providing more than one entrance or exit.

The Plantation House on Silhouette was probably built around 1861 as a private house for Henri Dauban gebaut, der als Eigner der Insel 250 Arbeiter auf seinem 2.000 Morgen großen Grund beschäftigte. Zu dieser Zeit war Kopra, zusammen mit Zimtöl, Vanille und Hawksbill Schildkrötenpanzer, die Haupteinnahmequelle der Seychellen.
