Marienburg
About 3 thousand people.
Marienburg is a small town in the Commewijne district that grew around a big old sugar plantation. It holds the ruins of a large sugar factory.
You can wander among the rusty old machines of the sugar factory and imagine how it worked long ago. The quiet countryside around it is full of green fields.
