Le Château de Labourdonnais

The property is originally an old concession obtained in 1777 by two young orphans, Mary Louise and Henriette Tréouart de Longpré. In 1814, Jean Baptiste Germain purchased a part of the domain and built the first sugar mill.

In 1821, the property changed hands again, bought by Jacques de Chasteigner Du Mee, who extended the domain -  from 186 acres to 1,400 acres –  until his death in 1847 and named it Labourdonnais. It then became the property of two sisters, Mrs. Bourgault and Mrs.Aubin. 

Finally in 1854 , Christian Wiehe, who married the daughter of Mrs. Bourgault, bought out domain.

In 1856, Christian Wiehe , who was an important personality in his times, decided to build the castle; the works were completed in 1859.
