Château Saint-Louis in the early 19th century
The origins of Château Saint-Louis date back to 1620 and New France. The colony’s leaders built this structure for both administration and military defence. Extended several times over the years, the Château Saint-Louis was partially destroyed during the Conquest of 1759. Subsequently, the British authorities rebuilt Château Saint-Louis and, starting in 1784, added Château Haldimand alongside it. It was from here that the authorities, nicknamed “the castle clique” by the locals, ran the colony. Explore these places through the artworks of the period!
