Remembrance of the past military Guadeloupe, Jacob Camp was established in stages from the First Empire. Designed to replace the Hospital of St. Louis in Basse-Terre in a fresher and healthier, it is built in increments from 1860.
Its architecture is typical U-military vessels of the second half of the nineteenth century.
Using materials such as sheet metal and steel make it a fine example of industrial architecture, as the current museum Saint-John Perse Pointe-à-Pitre, or at home Zevallos Moule.L use of brick is also noteworthy.
The whole is the subject of a registration procedure for the inventory of historical monuments département.Cet former military hospital, located in the commune of Saint-Claude is a housing complex with a capacity of lands 2 hectares 14 ares 32 centiares
The hospital ... the time of his "glory" ...
2008 ..... And here is the result!
And yet, this place keeps an indefinable charm
From garden .... superb views of the mountains Caribbean
The courtyard 
I could not "resist" to capture on film the location of the maternity service ..... Deformation professional ..... instead of the trade winds whispering in these "ruins" I heard myself, joyful and powerful cries of newborns ..... who started their lives here .. ..
