Cap Malheureux
⛪ Red Roof Church – Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice de Cap Malheureux
Perched at the northernmost tip of Mauritius, the Red Roof Church is one of the island’s most iconic and photographed landmarks. Officially named Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice, this charming Roman Catholic chapel is instantly recognizable by its vibrant red sloping roof, set against a backdrop of turquoise sea, volcanic rocks, and lush greenery.
Built in 1938, the church was dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and remains an active place of worship for the local fishing community. Its peaceful setting in Cap Malheureux, a quiet coastal village, contrasts beautifully with the dramatic name of the area, which translates to “Cape of Misfortune”—a reference to the many shipwrecks and the historic British landing in 1810 that marked the end of French colonial rule.
