OVERVIEW
Completed in 1813 as the principal residence of Henri Christophe, king of northern Haiti, Sans-Souci was intended to answer European doubts that a Black state could build on such a scale. Christophe died here by his own hand in 1820. The 1842 Cap-Haïtien earthquake destroyed the palace and it was never rebuilt.
HISTORY
The ruins are part of the same UNESCO inscription as the Citadelle.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
The site is widely reported locally as one where Christophe is still present. It is treated with considerable respect rather than as an attraction.
VISITING
Open to visitors, on the road to the Citadelle.
