Résidence du gouverneur

The governor's residence features a rectangular structure with three levels surrounded by peripheral galleries and a large horseshoe-shaped staircase.

The current building, imported as a kit from mainland France, was constructed between 1891 and 1892 on the site of Sultan Andriantsoly's former palace.

The grounds include a park with six historical lampposts and three cannons, with the oldest dating back to 1813.

The departmental council plans to transform this residence into the central building of the Museum of Mayotte to display local heritage collections.

The metal structure of the building incorporates a double-wall system providing natural ventilation adapted to Mayotte's tropical climate.
