Palais de la Belle Rivière
Former palace of king Henri Christophe I in Haiti / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Palace de la Belle Rivière (French: Palais de la Belle Rivière) is a former palace in Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite, in the Artibonite department of Haiti. It is also known as the ‘’palace of 365 doors’’ (French: Palais de 365 portes or French: Palais de trois cent soixante-cinq portes).[1] Although, it has not 365 doors.[2] The palace was built for the first and last king of Haiti, Henri Christophe I. It overlooks the city center and the Artibonite River. Today, the palace ruins are in poor condition and deteriorating.
One kilometre east of the palace is the Crête-à-Pierrot fortress, where there was a major battle of the Haitian Revolution in March 1802.[2]
