Henri Christophe, King of Haiti as Henry I, built the palace between 1810 and 1813. The infobox credits Pompée Valentin Vastey as the architect, while the text says the historian Vergniaud Leconte attributes the design to Christophe's military engineer, Henri Barre. The infobox gives the style as Baroque. Scholars disagree about its influences, and a historian calls the link to Frederick the Great's Sanssouci in Potsdam unfounded.
The site included immense gardens, artificial springs and waterworks. The article gives no dimensions or materials. The 1842 earthquake destroyed a considerable part of the palace, and it was never rebuilt, so it stands as a ruin. The infobox calls it demolished.
It is part of the UNESCO site National History Park, listed in 1982. The palace is at Milot, near Cap-Haïtien, and a trail behind it leads to the Citadelle. The article says it is seldom visited by foreigners.
