FORTRESS - ANCHOR - BATTERY
le fortin du Moule Several fortified sites and inshore batteries, equipped with iron canons, line the Moulean coast making it possible to appreciate the rudiment military logistics of the period. The most important is close to the city center and it has an ammunition depot. Lining both sides of the port's entrance are partially submerged mooring anchors. These protected boats entering and leaving from aggression and attacks.
The anchors for mooring the sail ships.
Tha ammunition depot, a gun powder factory at seaside.


THE WISOSKI
Currently under renovation, this ancient merchandising warehouse is located at the entrance of the port. Its name is rooted in a Polish military chief based in Le Moule at that time.


THE ZEVALLOS COLONIAL MANSION
the colonial mansion Zevallos in Moule Dating back to the 19th century, this mansion has a metal structure that came from the Gustav Eiffel workshop, the famous designer of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The metal structure is complemented with bricks, wood and wrought iron. Thin metal cylindrical poles support the exterior shady balconies. This is a unique construction in Guadeloupe and attests to the intense agricultural and industrial activities that reigned on the site. Joseph Duchassaing, former Mayor of Le Moule, is the owner. The mansion is on the roadside, direction St. François, on the former Zévallos refinery estate.
Visits are not authorized, as the property is private.


a windmill in Moule THE WINDMILLS
These were indispensable for grinning the sugar cane before the arrival of steam machines that had larger flat capacity grinners. There are many in the Moulian countryside. Dating back to the 18th century, some are still well maintained, in particular, the one on the Damoiseau distillery that has been entirely reconstructed. The "tour des moulins" (trail of windmills) makes up a very pleasant route for mountain bike practice.


l'eglise Saint Jean Baptiste au Moule THE CHURCH SAINT JEAN BAPTISTE
Constructed in the form of a Latin cross, a neoclassic inspiration, this monument is classified. Since its reconstruction in 1840, it has resisted numerous cyclones.
Its exceptional ventilation system preserves, wholly intact, a woody decor in pastel tones. This creates an atmosphere of prayer and meditation that is particularly appreciated by the faithful.
Masses and religous services are frequent and well attended.
Visits are free during the morning after religious services.


townhouse of Le Moule THE TOWNHALL
Reconstructed after the 1928 cyclone by Ali Tur (son of a high ranking government official). Its massive round forms protect it definitely from the natural elements. Its interior decoration, austere and majestic, constantly reminds us of the people's power.
Visits are possible during opening hours.
