The fortress "Fort Louis" was built for the King of France in 1789 under the direction of Jean Sebastien de Durat, then governor of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. Their main purpose was to defend the warehouses of the port of Marigot, where crops (salt, coffee, cane sugar, rum) were stored, which were often attacked by English raiders.
