Domaine de Maizerets

Domaine de Maizerets, Nature park in La Cité-Limoilou, Quebec, Canada.

Domaine de Maizerets is a 27-hectare park in La Cité-Limoilou, Quebec, arranged around the Maison Maizerets, also called Château Ango, a manor house from the early 18th century. Its southern third holds the historic farmstead, a stone barn from 1755, the Chalet Lacroix of 1946 and a ring-shaped pond around the 18-metre Île Saint-Hyacinthe, which carries a small oratory since 1867. The middle third is mostly wooded; the northern third holds a poplar grove, a water garden, a rose garden, a hedge maze with 350 m of paths, an arboretum of 1,500 trees of 215 species and an observation tower. Eleven kilometres of paths cross the park.

François Trefflé and Thomas Doyon bought the land from the Jesuits in 1696 and built a farm; it passed to the Séminaire de Québec in 1705. American Continental troops occupied the manor in 1775 and burned it in 1776; it was rebuilt in 1777 with two storeys. The seminary sold parcels from the late 19th century, and the city acquired the remaining domain in 1979.

The site was long called La Canardière, meaning duck pond, before being renamed Maizerets in 1850 after Louis Ango de Maizerets (1636–1721), the seminary superior who had acquired the property. Since 1867 a small oratory has stood on Île Saint-Hyacinthe, the 18-metre island inside the ring-shaped pond dug in 1849. The seminary gave up farming in 1932 and turned the estate into a holiday settlement for young people.

The park is open daily and offers different areas for walking and exploring at your own pace. You can focus on specific attractions like the maze or arboretum based on what interests you most.

The ring-shaped pond dug in 1849 surrounds Île Saint-Hyacinthe, an artificial island 18 metres long. A small oratory has stood on it since 1867. The pond predates the city's acquisition of the domain by 130 years.
