Hacienda Lealtad

Cultural and Institutional Buildings

Hacienda Lealtad is a former coffee plantation in Barrio La Torre, Lares, Puerto Rico, established in 1830 by Juan Bautista Plumey, a French immigrant born in 1797. The estate grew into the largest coffee plantation in Lares, spanning about 600 cuerdas and worked by more than thirty enslaved people alongside hundreds of day laborers on its 69 cuerdas of coffee farmland. It was notably innovative for its time, generating its own electricity through a hydraulic wheel system. The restored estate now operates as a living museum, hotel, and agrotourism destination, offering tours focused on nineteenth century coffee farming culture.

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
