Casa Hacienda de Naic is a 19th-century structure classified as a casa hacienda (hacienda house) located in the town of Naic in Cavite province, Philippines. It is the only existing casa hacienda administered by friars in the Philippines that remains to be used at present.[1]
History
The hacienda was originally constructed around 1830 by the Dominican priests after purchasing a large tract of real estate property known as the Hacienda de San Isidro Labrador to serve as housing for the overseers and workers of the said hacienda.
The hacienda later served as base of operations for Bonifacio and his men who, on April 19, 1897, proclaimed the Naic Military Agreement. That agreement created a rival government headed by Bonifacio, effectively rejecting the Aguinaldo-led government. This led to the eventual arrest of Bonifacio, who was held together with his brother Procopio in a cell located in Casa Hacienda before he was taken to Maragondon where he would be tried and later executed.[2]
Casa Hacienda eventually became part of the Naic Elementary School.
