CUSTOMS HOUSE

On the banks of the river, surrounded by a formal garden, the customs collector's house has been a listed historic building since 2016. Over 150 years ago, this wood-and-brick building housed the chief medical officer of the Saint-Laurent penal colony. Strategically placed opposite the landing stage for prison ships and close to the governor's residence, it is assumed that the house was handed over to the customs administration in 1946 when the prison closed its doors.
