    Colonial Residence
    4/5

    Château de Labourdonnais

    MapouMauritius1856

    Château de Labourdonnais in Mapou is one of Mauritius' grandest 19th-century colonial sugar plantation estates. Built in 1856 by Christian Wiehe, this magnificent Italianate-Victorian mansion features double-tiered wrap-around verandas, French neo-classical interior decor, and a famous avenue of majestic banyan trees. While celebrated today as a premier heritage site, rum distillery, and museum, the château holds a darker reputation among estate staff and nocturnal visitors. Whispers of grand colonial balls echoing through empty dining halls, phantom scents of vintage perfume, and the spectral figure of a Victorian lady walking the wrap-around balcony at dusk make it one of the most hauntingly romantic sites in northern Mauritius.

    Château de Robillard (National History Museum)

    MahebourgMauritius1772

    Château de Robillard, located on the outskirts of historical Mahebourg, is a grand 18th-century French colonial manor house that now houses the National History Museum of Mauritius. Built in 1772 by Jean de Robillard, this historic residence played a legendary role during the Battle of Grand Port in August 1810—the only naval victory achieved by Napoleon's navy over the British Royal Navy. During the fierce four-day battle, the château served as an emergency makeshift field hospital where commanders from both opposing forces were treated side-by-side in the main hall. Today, visitors and museum staff report eerie encounters with phantom naval officers, disembodied groans of wounded sailors, and ghostly footsteps echoing through the historic naval gallery.

    Eureka House

    MokaMauritius1830

    Eureka House, known locally as 'Maison Eureka' or 'La Maison des 109 Portes' (The House of 109 Doors), is a grand 19th-century Creole colonial mansion situated along the Moka River in central Mauritius. Built in 1830 and famously acquired by the prominent Le Clézio family in 1856, this sprawling timber residence features an astonishing 109 doors and wraps around a lush tropical garden facing the Ory waterfalls. Renowned as one of the largest wooden houses in the Indian Ocean, Eureka is equally famous for its eerie supernatural legacy. Guests and caretakers frequently experience disembodied piano music, self-opening doors, cold drafts in windowless corridors, and sightings of 19th-century specters wandering its endless verandas.

    Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden

    PamplemoussesMauritius1736 / 1770

    The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, world-renowned as the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, is the oldest botanical garden in the Southern Hemisphere. Originally established in 1736 by French Governor Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais as a private vegetable estate for his residence at Château Mon Plaisir, it was developed into a botanical wonderland in 1770 by French botanist Pierre Poivre. Spanning 37 hectares, the garden is famous for its giant Victoria amazonica water lilies, talipot palms, and historic monuments. Behind its serene floral beauty lies a rich tapestry of hauntings, centering on the ghost of Pierre Poivre, phantom figures near Château Mon Plaisir, and ghostly whisperings in the spice groves.
