About

Landhuis Knip, also known as Landhuis Kenepa, is one of Curaçao's most important slavery and resistance heritage sites. The landhuis dates from the early 18th century. On 17 August 1795, enslaved people at Kenepa led by Tula refused to work, beginning the largest revolt against slavery in Curaçao's history. The house was restored in 1985 and the site is closely associated with Museo Tula and the interpretation of slavery, resistance and emancipation.
