This sumptuous residence, classified rare historic monument in the East of the metropolis, plunges us into the beginning of the 20th century’s atmosphere of prosperity. Its architecture, interior decoration and domestic installations testify to an influential and avant-garde Francophone bourgeoisie whose actions on the development of Montreal were important.
Built from 1915 to 1918, the mansion was designed by Marius Dufresne and the Parisian architect Jules Renard in the Beaux-Arts style. The architects based their plans on the Petit Trianon on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles in France. The building has forty rooms covering about 20,000 square feet. The mansion was built as the residence of Marius Dufresne and Oscar Dufresne, two wealthy French Canadian entrepreneurs who played a major role in the history of the city of Maisonneuve (now part of Montreal). The Château Dufresne was declared a historic monument by the Quebec government in 1976. Beginning in 1999, the building has housed the Château Dufresne Museum, which was renamed the Dufresne-Nincheri Museum in 2014.
