Geyersvlijt, Cultural heritage neighborhood in Paramaribo, Suriname
The plantation land of Geyersvlijt extends along the Suriname River, featuring agricultural fields and residential zones within its 200-acre territory
German soldier Johan Christiaan Geyer established the plantation in 1819 by merging four parcels of land north of Paramaribo for city food supplies.
Between 1894 and 1930, workers from British India and Java transformed Geyersvlijt into a leading producer of coffee, cocoa, and bananas.
The neighborhood connects to central Paramaribo through multiple transport routes, with the Mulo Geyersvlijt school serving as an educational center.
The original plantation owner's daughter married Carel Ludwig Weissenbruch, who managed 62 plantations, influencing regional agricultural development.
