Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao

This non-profit organization restores and rents out listed monumental buildings in Curaçao, both in World Heritage City Willemstad, and outside of the city. It also takes a leading role in creating awareness around the importance of preserving built heritage, through different partnerships and projects.

Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao – Curaçao Heritage Foundation – was founded in 1954. The private foundation is the oldest and largest organization in the field of preservation of monuments in Curaçao with over 120 monuments under management, including townhouses, forts, plantation houses, and even a former synagogue. Several of these were acquired when they were already dilapidated and threatened to be lost. By now most have been restored.
