Also known as Hacienda Labadie, the plans to build this historical landmark designed by French architect Paul Servajean date back to the late 19th century, but construction wasn't finished until 1905. Originally, the hacienda's 1,262 acres of land were used for the cultivation of coffee, however, after the Spanish-American war, a switch was made to the on-demand crash cop of the time— sugar cane.
The French-like architecture of the Hacienda Labadie and its role as a powerhouse sugar plantation inspired one of Puerto Rico's most famous works of literature, La Llamarada. Nowadays, the hacienda is managed by the municipality of Moca, and it can be visited for historical tours of the property. The grounds of the hacienda can also be rented for special events, such as weddings.
