The oldest private history museum in Quebec that presents historical exhibits, notably on Hochelaga.
Château Ramezay has been a historic building in the heart of Old Montreal since 1705, and its museum is a must-see! Thanks to its rich collections, its exhibits will help you explore and better understand the history of Montreal and Quebec, starting with that of the Aboriginal peoples before the arrival of Europeans. What's more, in its vaults, you can take a seat in its reconstructed interiors to transport you back to New France. The Governor's Garden, a unique example of an 18th-century garden, is accessible free of charge.

À moins d’être vraiment un passionné d’histoire, ce musée ne vaut pas le détour et est cher pour la prestation proposée.
La 3e étoile est pour le sourire de la réceptionniste
L'histoire de cette prestigieuse demeure commence le jour de sa construction pour Claude de Ramezay, alors gouverneur de Montréal, en 1705.
Aujourd'hui, le Château Ramezay est un musée et un lieu historique national.
On y découvre comment les influences amérindiennes, françaises, britanniques et américaines ont façonné la vie des Montréalais.
Après la visite de l'intérieur, promenez-vous dans le Jardin du Gouverneur. Vous y découvrirez un verger, un jardin d'agrément et un potager rappelant un jardin urbain du 18e siècle en Nouvelle-France.
Merci à tous ceux qui préservent l'art et partagent les sites d'histoire, et aux propriétaires du Château Ramezay
