Sugar Heritage Village (Brechin Castle Estate)

The Sugar Heritage Village project started in 2011 focuses on preserving the memory of Trinidad and Tobago’s sugar industry, promoting our rich history and teaching people about our sugar past. In doing so however, the Sugar Heritage Village project also introduces valuable resources to the Couva / Point Lisas area, some of which never existed before. Through this project, there will be job creation and the establishment of useful facilities and resources for educational & historical, sporting & recreational, environmental and commercial purposes.

The land for this project includes 500 acres of land at The Brechin Castle Sugar Estate formerly owned by Caroni Sugar Estates (Trinidad) Ltd and Caroni (1975) Ltd. By 1940 the landscape Brechin Castle, was changed by the construction of the factory and the four cooling ponds at the back as well as major company offices, the dispensary, Sevilla School, Sevilla Club and residences for mainly expatriate senior staff.
