This historic building in Nouméa, once marked by a fire and two cyclones, was rehabilitated in 2022 after two years of work. Its four brick façades, gabled roof, and lime-rendered walls reflect the architecture of old penitentiary administrations. The interior pillars bear witness to the city's evolution. Classified as a cultural heritage site for its façade, columns, and steps, it now houses the offices of the cultural department and is open for visits, fully restored and modernized.
