Maison AMADOTE, Colonial-era house in Aneho, Togo.
Maison Amadote is a residential building from the colonial era in Aneho featuring wooden frames, painted walls, and design elements from that historical period. The structure sits near the waterfront and represents the architectural character of the older town district.
The house was built during French colonial rule when Aneho served as Togo's capital from 1914 to 1919. The structure dates from a period when the city held significant administrative importance for the territory.
The house functions as a gathering place where local residents encounter regional artworks and traditional music performances throughout the year. These events reflect how the community values its own creative traditions.
The location is accessible via National Route 1 with regular transport options from Lome to the town. Local guides offer tours and can provide information about the site in different languages.
The building displays a blend of German and French architectural styles, as the region experienced different European administrations at different times. This stylistic mixture reflects the region's complex colonial history.

Togo extends from the coast of the Gulf of Guinea to forested plateaus inland. The country contains several national parks, including Fazao Malfakassa and Keran, where elephants, antelopes, and numerous bird species live. The waterfalls at Aklowa and Kpimé cascade over multiple tiers through tropical vegetation. The Koutammakou region in the northeast displays traditional clay architecture with characteristic Tatas, fortified dwellings of the Batammariba people. In Lomé, German and French colonial buildings reflect the history of the 19th and 20th centuries, while local markets like the Marché des Féticheurs present traditional practices and commerce. Mount Agou rises to 986 meters and provides views across surrounding valleys and plantations. The coastal area includes sandy beaches along the Atlantic and Lac Togo, a lagoon used for fishing and water activities. Temple ruins and shrines are distributed throughout the country, documenting the animist traditions of various ethnic groups.
