Palacete Los Moreau, Historic mansion in Moca, Puerto Rico.
The Palacete Los Moreau features Second Empire Baroque architecture with two towers, integrating Caribbean design elements throughout its two-story structure.
Built in 1893 by Cornelia Pellot after her husband Juan Labadié's death, the mansion replaced a wooden house on their extensive coffee plantation.
The property gained literary recognition through Enrique Laguerre's novel La Llamarada, which depicted the sugar cane industry life in early 20th century Puerto Rico.
The municipality of Moca offers free access to the estate grounds, though the interior remains closed due to water damage from recent storms.
Following his death in 2005, author Enrique Laguerre's ashes were placed in a small mausoleum within the mansion's grounds according to his final wishes.
