History
The Landhuis and the plantation date from the early 18th century. Livestock was kept on the plantation and corn and beans were grown that served as food for the slaves and cattle. Another part of the products, such as fruits, dairy products and beef cattle, was sold to the inhabitants of the city and those on board ships that called at Curaçao. We no longer have the large plantations of the past, but in the small ‘hofi’ behind the country house, plantains, papaya and local basil are now mainly grown for use in the restaurant.
The name ” Brakke Put ” means spring with brackish water. ‘Mei Mei’ means ‘in the middle’ in the local language, Papiamentu. On Brakkeput you also have a country house Brakkeput Ariba (above) and Brakkeput Abao (below).
