Tour Koenig, Industrial and residential complex in Port Louis, Mauritius

The tower stands 17 meters tall, constructed with rubble stones and mortar, situated near the southern entrance of Port Louis.

Henry Koenig built the tower between 1829 and 1832 as part of a 350-arpent estate, originally known as Grande Rivière.

The National Heritage Fund manages this national monument, which is now located within the Nelson Mandela Cultural Center grounds.

The industrial park spans 200 arpents, offering facilities for textile manufacturing, construction companies, and various industrial operations.

The tower was constructed to comfort Henry Koenig's father, Jean Antoine, by reminding him of his native Bavaria region.
