Manoir Papineau National Historic Site

Manoir Papineau National Historic Site is temporarily closed to the general public for the season. The site welcomes school groups for guided tours from September to October and May to June. See details.

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.
