Origin and history
The sugar house, located in Anses-d'Arlet in Martinique, is a historical monument dating from the late eighteenth century. This estate, known as "La Sucrerie", is the largest house in this town. Its architecture and organization reflect the importance of the sugar industry in the colonial economy of Martinique, marked by the farming and sugar production, which is central to this period.
Acquired in 1788 by Jean-François Hayot, this home played a key role in the development of this sugar family. The Hayot, major figures in Martinique's economic history, developed this exploitation, illustrating the power and influence of landowners in colonial society. The home, with its industrial remains and its main home, bears witness to the time when sugar was a strategic resource.
Classified as a historic monument in 2016, the sugar house includes the main house, outbuildings and traces of past industrial activity. This classification protects the entire estate, with the exception of recent buildings, and highlights its heritage importance. Today, this site offers an overview of Martinique's industrial and social history, while remaining a private property.
