Château Morange, Historical monument in Saint-Denis, Réunion Island.
Château Morange is a castle in Saint-Denis featuring neoclassical design with columned galleries running across three facades. A central courtyard is surrounded by auxiliary buildings that define the property's distinctive layout.
The castle was built around 1850 by contractor F. Chatel for Prosper Morange during the height of Réunion's sugar economy. It stands as a testament to the wealth and importance of plantation estates during that era.
Today the castle houses a cultural center with performance halls, dance studios, and digital art spaces. Visitors can see how this historic building actively participates in the city's cultural life.
The castle is open to visitors during weekday and weekend hours at its location on Château Morange Street. Check ahead before visiting to confirm access, as cultural events may occasionally affect normal viewing times.
From 1926 to 1929 the castle served as a residence for Moroccan military leader Abdelkrim al-Khattabi and around 27 members of his household. This period connects the building to a significant chapter of North African history.
