the manor

an emblematic place

Situated on former farmland, the manor house was built in 1893 by Olivier Bresse and has stood proudly in the Trait Carré district of Charlesbourg for 130 years. Over a century later, the manor house has been inhabited and remains a landmark for all residents of the area.

After being occupied by a shoemaker, an accountant, a hotel, and even a restaurant, the life of the manor will take a new turn in 2022, welcoming the partnership of L'académie par Madolaine and Café Smith to offer you a unique service. Today, the manor opens its doors to you for a knitting class while enjoying a good coffee, everything is done to spend a pleasant and creative time.
