Fort Teremba, Colonial fort and prison in Moindou, New Caledonia
Fort Teremba stands on a plateau with mountain and sea views, featuring restored structures including a prison, watchtower, perimeter wall, and guillotine.
Built in 1871 under Governor Eugène Gaultier de la Richerie's direction, the fort served as both a prison facility and administrative center for the surrounding Uarai territory.
The Marguerite Association maintains the Heritage Interpretation Center within the fort, presenting exhibitions about New Caledonian colonial and penal history.
Located 124 kilometers north of Noumea, the fort opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM with separate admission rates for adults, children, and groups.
Every June, 180 performers participate in a night show at the fort, presenting historical reenactments through theatrical performances and ending with fireworks.
