The Habitation in its entirety, with its annexes, its garden and its driveway to the sea, located on the N.N. 5 (Box I 101 to 104, 107 to 109, 111 to 113, see plan annexed to the decree): classification by order of 17 July 2012
Origin and history
The habitation Montgérald, located in the Marin in Martinique, is an emblematic estate built during the first half of the 19th century. This historic monument is distinguished by its original U-shaped architecture, typical of colonial dwellings of the time. He housed three successive mayors of the commune of Marin, stressing its importance in local political and social life.
The estate was classified as Historic Monument by decree of 17 July 2012, thus protecting the entire housing, its annexes, its garden and its driveway to the sea. This official recognition highlights the heritage value of the site, both for its architecture and for its link to Martinique's administrative history. The location, on National Route 5, and its access to the sea also reflect its past strategic and economic role.
Today, the Montgérald Habitation remains a property shared by private hands and the state. Although the information on its access to the public (visits, room rental or guest rooms) is not specified in the available sources, its classification as a Historic Monument makes it a site of interest for the preservation of the Martinic heritage. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory", based on available geographic data.
