Welcome to Montebello, QC!
Located east of Gatineau on the Ottawa River, approximately half way between Ottawa and Montreal, Montebello is a little country village surrounded by the type of impressive Canadian wilderness made famous in postcards and souvenir photos. The area was first settled in the mid-19th century by the family of Louis-Joseph Papineau, a man who later became seigneur of the area and, between 1848 and 1850, built what is now the Manoir Papineau National Historic Site. Today the village is best known for Le Chateau Montebello, the largest log structure ever built. Currently owned by the Fairmont Hotel chain, the chateau and the neighbouring Fairmont Kenauk, which is located on a huge protected wilderness area where visitors can stay in luxury cabins, are at the centre of most of the village's outdoor pursuits including fishing, hunting, canoeing, hiking and more. Fairmont le Chateau Montebello Club de Golf is one of the area's three golf courses, while Omega Park thrills visitors by giving them the chance to see several species of wild animals up close.
