Maison Saint-Gabriel Museum

Maison Saint-Gabriel is a former farm that was acquired by a descendant of the Bourgeoys royal dynasty in 1668. However, it became a historical monument of Canada only in 1965. Since then, many artifacts have been found in the walls of the house. Now its territory is a museum.

The building is currently being reconstructed. The architects decided to recreate its former appearance.

On the territory of the Maison Saint-Gabriel Museum there is a chapel, a basement, a common room, a dormitory, a room for the king’s daughter. In summer, the appearance of the seventeenth century is recreated on the territory of the farm. As a few centuries ago, the farm began to raise animals, engage in agriculture.
