Manoir Papineau National Historic Site
The Manoir Papineau National Historic Site is temporarily closed for the season. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in spring 2024!
Set in Montebello, halfway between Gatineau and Montréal, Manoir Papineau is a page straight out of 19th century history that opens right before your eyes: the grand estate of Louis-Joseph Papineau, a leading figure in Canadian politics, where a manor house with four towers stands proudly.
