Origin and history

The Town Hall of Port-Louis is an old house built in the middle of the eighteenth century for the Ollivier family. Located at 36 rue des Dames, it overlooks the city centre near Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church. Its architecture on four levels, including a floor of attic, reflects the bourgeois residential style of the time.

At the end of the 19th century, Dr. Henri Guihéneuc, former mayor of Port Louis, became the last private owner before his transformation into a town hall. The facades and roofs are protected by a decree of November 13, 1945, recognizing their heritage value. An inscription "Ty Huella" on the lintel of the door and a painting by Antoine Morlon testify to his history.

The building illustrates the urban evolution of Port Louis, moving from a family home to a public building. Its central location and proximity to the church underline its importance in local life. Today, it remains a symbol of the architectural and historical heritage of the city.
