Mackenzie King Estate
Domaine Mackenzie-King
The summer estate of former Prime Minister Mackenzie King in Gatineau Park, where old architectural fragments moved from various sites have been arranged into a romantic 'artificial ruin.'
King was Canada's longest-serving prime minister. He spent his summers in several small cottages here, and the gardens are scattered with stone pieces moved from places including the British Houses of Parliament. The estate's tearoom serves afternoon tea. It is open roughly from May to October, and parking costs money. It lies in the southern part of Gatineau Park and can be combined with the Pink Lake trail on the same day.
Opening hours
Approx. mid-May–mid-Oct, 10:00 AM–5:00 PM
