In ruins now, the Palace Sans-Souci is a clear trace of the proud Henri Christophe, who modelled the palace after the namesake in Potsdam, Germany.
Part of the unique and very interesting history of Haiti is the story of Henri Christophe. Born in Grenada, he was taken to the French colony of Saint Domingue in the late 18th century, to become one of the prominent figures of the Haitian revolution in 1791. A few years after Haiti reached independence and became the first Black Republic in 1804 (and the only country where slaves successfully revolted against their masters), he participated in a coup against Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the first leader of independent Haiti.
