Berengo's Palace, Imperial residence in Bobangui, Central African Republic
The palace includes a main building, separate quarters for advisors, ministerial lodgings, agricultural facilities, and an airport within its expansive grounds.
Emperor Jean-Bedel Bokassa established Berengo Palace as his official residence in December 1977, creating a center of power away from the capital Bangui.
The palace stands on Ngbaka ethnic territory, where local inhabitants traditionally provided personnel for the imperial guard and maintained ceremonial protocols.
The palace complex contains industrial facilities including a sawmill, record manufacturing plant, and recording studio, demonstrating its self-sufficient infrastructure.
Since 2018, the former imperial residence functions as a military training base where Russian instructors prepare Central African Republic soldiers.
