To discover, see and do...

Montreal’s portal to its past, the Château Ramezay was the first building in Québec to be classified an historic monument. Built in the 18th century as a prestigious residence, it is now one of the few vestiges of the French regime open to visitors. Chosen as one of the 1001 Historic Sites You Must See Before You Die, the Château invites you to relive more than 500 years of history, from the pre-contact Amerindian era to the 20th century.

A not-to-be-missed heritage landmark in Old Montréal, the Château Ramezay holds fascinating collections, displayed in its exhibits, with multimedia portrayals of historical figures, highlighting their lives at the Château. Items in the museum shop reflect this legacy.

Visit the Governor's Garden, and experience a typical 18th century urban garden in New France. Multilingual sound panels guide visitors through the gardens and the orchard where various activities and events take place throughout the year. In summer, a courtyard café overlooks the garden.
