Château Ramezay - Historic Site and Museum of Montréal

Montreal’s portal to its past, the Château Ramezay was the first building in Québec to be classified an historic monument. 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 numerous exhibits, intermingled with multimedia portrayals of historical figures recounting, in six languages, highlights of their lives at the Château. Items in the museum shop reflect this legacy. Visit the Governor's Garden and experience delights typical of an urban garden in New France. In summer, a terrace overlooks the garden.
