Mariënburg is a former sugarcane plantation, factory and village, situated in the district of Commewijne, in northern Suriname.

In 1745, Mariënburg was founded as a sugar plantation by Maria de la Jaille.

The following day, on 30 July, people were arrested, after angry workers marched to the office.

[4] Over a century later, on 30 July 2006, Vice President Ramdien Sardjoe unveiled a monument at Mariënburg in memory of the uprising and resulting dead, under the initiative of the Fallen Heroes Foundation of 1902.
