About
Fazenda Velha is a Brazilian preserved site in the municipality of Telêmaco Borba, in Paraná, which houses a colonial-style mansion that served as the headquarters of the old Monte Alegre Farm (also called Fazenda do Alegre), along with other small buildings, such as the old water tank. This area is part of the so-called "Sertões do Tibagi" (Tibagi Hinterlands), in the Campos Gerais region, on the Second Parana Plateau, in the Central Eastern region of Paraná. All of this farm area and its structures currently belong to the Klabin Group, which operates in the region through the Monte Alegre Unit (a paper industry in Telêmaco Borba) and the Paraná Forestry Department (of Klabin S.A.). The farm was once owned by federalist military officer Bonifácio José Batista, known as the Baron of Monte Carmelo.
