Landhuis Karpata, Colonial mansion in Rincon, Netherlands
Landhuis Karpata stands as a mustard-colored mansion built with traditional materials, featuring a handmade coral floor and rounded outdoor oven.
The mansion, constructed around 1870, replaced a small fort that protected the sea route between Kralendijk and Slagbaai from potential attacks.
Known locally as Kas Grandi, meaning big house, the mansion represents the architectural style and social structure of plantation life in Bonaire.
The mansion remains accessible to visitors who want to explore the historical plantation grounds and observe the traditional aloe processing methods.
The property contains abundant karpata plants along its access roads, which gave the plantation its name and continue to grow naturally.
