The country houses, mansions of Curaçao (called: Landhuis), built in the 17th till 19th centuries, are usually former plantation houses. There used to be about 100 such small plantations on Curaçao. Their names are still in use as place name.
Plantation Savonet was one of the first plantations on Curaçao.
This old land house was built around 1660, but set on fire in 1804 by the English during the British invasion. It was restored to its original condition early in the 19th century. The outbuildings of the colonial home Savonet lie at the entrance to the Christoffel National Park.
