Overlooking the spectacular St. Lawrence River, Vieux Presbytere is a historic rectory representing Deschambault’s heritage. This beloved monument, built in 1815, is home to a museum with permanent exhibitions mixed with various contemporary visual art exhibitions.

Stop by the monument with your family for an informative tour followed by a fun picnic in the neighbouring picnic area. You can also take a quiet walk by the shoreline! Follow the path to find a staircase that descends the cliff, leading to the magnificent river.

The church of Saint Joseph was built from 1835 to 1838. The church features a number of stained glass windows, a stunningly designed statue of Saint Joseph near the altar, a number of large beautiful paintings, and many more small intricate details found in the church.

The exterior is primarily stone, with one statue at the main entrance. The church also has two floors. The paintings that were previously mentioned can be found on the second floor.
