Togoville- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Togoville, located on the northern shore of Lake Togo, is a town rich in history and culture. Originally named Togo, the town is the namesake of the country and has a deep connection to the practice of voodoo. Notable landmarks include the Togoville Cathedral, built in 1910, which houses a shrine to the Virgin Mary, marking the site where she is said to have appeared in the early 1970s. The area is also home to voodoo shrines near the former royal palace and a sacred forest. West of the cathedral stands the Maison Royale, a museum that showcases the throne of Mlapa and other historical artifacts. In 1984, a monument was erected to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1884 treaty between Germany and Togoville.
