About

Embark on a journey back in time at the Mission Ruins of Venn's Town, where history and mystery intertwine amidst the lush landscapes of Seychelles. The Mission Ruins of Venn's Town are steeped in history, dating back to the 19th century when the Seychelles islands were under British rule. Originally established as a mission station by Reverend William Moister in 1876, the site served as a hub for religious and educational activities, providing a sanctuary for freed slaves and their descendants. Today, the Mission Ruins stand as a testament to Seychelles' diverse cultural heritage, with crumbling walls and overgrown pathways hinting at the site's storied past.
