Château Ramezay is a stone mansion in Old Montreal built in 1705 as the residence of a French colonial governor, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. Over the centuries it served as a governor's house, a trading company headquarters and briefly as headquarters for American revolutionary forces during their occupation of the city. Now a museum, it preserves period rooms, a vaulted cellar and a recreated eighteenth-century governor's garden. Its collections interpret several centuries of Montreal's layered history.
