The huge heritage property was owned by Seigneur Juchereau starting in 1656. You can explore its Victorian manor (1853) designed by architect Charles Baillargé, and go on guided tours led by staff in period costumes. They’ll be happy to show you around the mill (1842), powered by the largest bucket wheel in Québec, and explain how it works. You can even buy organic stone-ground flour made right here at the mill. Around the pine grove and the pond, you can stroll along more than 2 km of walking paths, with picnic areas and lookouts over the peaceful Ferrée River. The ornamental gardens, rose garden, tree stands and fruit plantations have been recreated in keeping with the wonderful gardening heritage of Saint-Rochdes-Aulnaies.
