The Old Rectory

The old rectory of Pointe-à-Pitre is in Gourbeyre Square, almost opposite the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, but occupies an entire block and the rear facade gives on Victoria Square. It was built in 1845 and has a structure of typical Caribbean architecture, built entirely of wood with iron balconies. It has two floors and is surrounded by a landscaped area. The main facade is topped by a triangular pediment under which there is a gateway between columns. The building is part of the historic buildings of the city and is listed as a heritage asset. It is now used as an exhibition and educational
