Boucher-De Niverville Manor, Manor house in Trois-Rivières, Canada
The Boucher-De Niverville Manor is a French Colonial-style house on Bonaventure Street in Trois-Rivières built with thick stone walls and a steeply pitched roof typical of early French colonial dwellings. The structure preserves original features and interior spaces from its era of construction.
Construction of this residence began in 1668, with a major expansion completed in 1729, making it one of the oldest French colonial structures in Quebec. The house survived multiple generations and various modifications as the French colony developed over time.
The manor's name honors the Boucher family, prominent merchants and administrators of the colonial era. Displayed items and furnishings throughout the rooms reflect how people lived and worked during the 1700s.
The manor is centrally located in Trois-Rivières and can be reached at 819-372-4531 or manoirdeniverville@v3r.net to arrange visits. Tours are offered in French and English, though accessibility for visitors with mobility needs is limited to certain areas of the building.
Students from College Lafleche's History and Civilization Program organize and maintain an archaeological exhibition within the manor's stone walls. This educational partnership brings fresh research and perspective to the artifacts discovered on the property.
