Landhuis Jan Kok

About

Landhuis Jan Kok is one of Curaçao's oldest historic plantation sites. The present landhuis was built in 1840 to replace an earlier 18th-century building. The 345-hectare plantation was primarily associated with salt production, with agriculture and livestock also taking place. Curaçao Tourism Board records that around 100 enslaved people still worked there around 1860. From the property there are views toward the salt pans of St. Marie Bay, where flamingos may sometimes be seen.
