Built in 1930, the Chateau Montebello was once a private club. The building was transformed into a hotel after being bought by Canadian Pacific in 1970. To this date it is the largest circular log structure and it is the pride of Montebello’s citizens.
The stone used for the construction is extracted from the surrounding lands, while the stone of the decorative parts comes from a Sainte-Anne quarry. The interior has only been finished in 1902, when the Fabrique obtains a loan of 6000 $ to realize the project.
