Built in 1852 by John Robinson Hamilton, Queen’s
Council and Bonaventure County Deputy in the Lower Canada Assembly
from 1841 to 1844, this neo-classical English manor house was
constructed in a style very unusual for Québec. The four
chimneys and eight fireplaces have certainly added to the building’s
heritage value.
The Manoir Hamilton is the only example of Palladian architecture
in the Gaspésie, proudly echoing the influence of Andrea
Palladio, the renowned Italian Renaissance architect.
A tour of the Manoir, its every room filled with furniture,
carpets, old books, paintings and period dishes, will transport
you directly to the 19th century, when the Gaspésie was
prime Loyalist territory.
The kitchen still boasts a traditional bread oven and the original
hearth, complete with trammel.
