Cheminée et Domaine de Kawéni
The Cheminée de Kawéni is a towering nineteenth-century stone industrial chimney standing prominently in the Kawéni district of Mamoudzou. Built around 1870 as part of the extensive Kawéni sugar estate, this monumental structure symbolizes the rise and fall of Mayotte’s colonial sugar industry. Surrounded by modern commercial development, the chimney remains deeply associated with local ghost stories, phantom lantern sightings, and worker spirits.
