About
The Palace of King Bell situated in Douala is a building constructed in 1905 by the Germans for King Auguste Manga Ndumbe (King Bell). The building is also known as La Pagode; this name comes from the French writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who remained in Douala in 1916–17, who calls it such in his famous novel Voyage au bout de la nuit (Journey to the End of the Night).
