Château Beauce
1903 residence in Nouvelle-Beauce, Quebec / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Château Beauce, once known as the Monastery of the Oblate Sisters of Bethany or House of Our lady of the Rosary, is a former bourgeois residence built in 1903, located in the heart of downtown Sainte-Marie in Nouvelle-Beauce, Quebec (Canada). The eclectic-style house is of heritage interest for historical and architectural reasons. Initially occupied by notables, it was ceded in 1932 to religious communities who transformed it into a convent, then a monastery.
