Maison Adam de Villiers, Historical house in Saint-Pierre, France

The Maison Adam de Villiers is a residence in Saint-Pierre built with a square floor plan and stone masonry walls. Its Mansard roof is covered with wooden shingles in the traditional manner.

Built probably between 1770 and 1780 by Henry Antoine Nairac, storekeeper for the King, the house is one of the oldest in Saint-Pierre. It has belonged to the Adam de Villiers family since 1938 and was listed in full on the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments on 6 June 1988.

The symmetrical facade with dressed basalt frames shows how French builders brought their methods to Reunion Island. The architectural style blends European forms with local materials and craftsmanship of the Indian Ocean region.

The building is under heritage protection and remains in private ownership. Visitors can view the exterior but should respect the property boundaries.

The house is also called Maison Sanglier, a name that predates the Adam de Villiers family's ownership since 1938. It was built probably between 1770 and 1780 by Henry Antoine Nairac, the King's storekeeper, and has been listed as a monument historique since 6 June 1988.
