Bajonetstraat 18-20

Description

In 1871, Hendrik August Statius Muller (1829-1883) built this neoclassical mansion on land originally part of the Cathagena estate owned by his father since 1844. Serving as the head of the construction department, Hendrik August named the newly built mansion “Klein Carthagena,” and it served as the residence of the Statius Muller family.

In the early 20th century, the mansion was leased to tenants. Notably, Colá Debrot, a distinguished writer, lawyer, and medical doctor who later served as the Governor of the Netherlands Antilles (1962-1970), spent his youth in this residence. Jan Gerard Palm (1831-1906), a renowned Caribbean composer from the 19th century, also resided in this classical mansion for some time.

In 1994, N.V. Stadsherstel Willemstad took ownership of the mansion and embarked on its restoration. The historic building was divided into eight apartments.
