Scharlooweg 072 – 76

La Maria in 1992, before restoration ?????????????

Description

The first building activity on this plot dates from the first half of the 18th century. Initially featuring multiple annexes and amenities like stables and a coach house, it was likely an earlier version of the current structure. The building was one of many owned by the protestant family Winkel, who were originally from Otrobanda. Aura Winkel was the last person from the family to occupy this house. The neo-classical design, painted in the family’s signature oxblood red, underwent restoration by the Curaçao Heritage Foundation in 1991. Once adorned with traditional woodwork and Curaçao antiques, it has since housed various businesses, including a gallery, offices, and restaurants and nightclubs, such as Area 1850, Club Bermuda, and TuTuTango.
