Château Dufresne, Heritage mansion in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Canada
The Beaux-Arts residence contains forty rooms across 20,000 square feet, with stone carvings, columns, and detailed interior finishes from the 1920s.
Built between 1915 and 1918 by architect Marius Dufresne, the mansion design drew inspiration from the Petit Trianon at Palace of Versailles.
The interior walls and ceilings showcase a collection of murals and paintings created by artist Guido Nincheri during the 1920s and 1930s.
The museum offers guided tours near the Olympic Stadium and Montreal Botanical Garden, accessible through the Pie-IX metro station.
The mansion served multiple functions through time: a college, contemporary art museum, decorative arts museum, and currently the Dufresne-Nincheri Museum.
