A classified heritage building, the Maison dite Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine has preserved its olden-days charm. The house was built in 1766, and its French-style architecture is typical of the period. Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine, a prominent figure in the history of Lower Canada, lived here when he was young, and the house has had an eventful history, surviving fire, a move, and restoration. It is now located in the De La Broquerie park, an enchanting site where the vestiges of a home built as early as 1735 can be seen.
