Petit Trianon before restoration

Description

Petit Trianon was built between 1872 and 1874 by Johannes Philippus Evertsz Gorsira. While the building follows the traditional pattern of a living room with a front and back gallery, its distinguishing feature is that the wings are at an angle to the main building. The east wing accommodated the bedrooms and bathrooms, while the west wing housed the kitchen. For most of the 20th century, the family Baiz made this their elegant home. Notably, one of the outbuildings was used by Dòdò’s shoe repair shop. Currently, the building serves as the office of the Curaçao Heritage Foundation, which restored it in 2003. A remarkable detail is the very well-preserved double aqueduct, which still supplies rainwater to the functional cistern.
