Description

The Johan-Beetz Castle is a rural residence inspired by the Second Empire style, built in 1899. The rectangular two-story main structure, clad in wooden planks, is topped with a red mansard roof with four slopes. The residence is surrounded on three sides by a gallery protected by an overhanging roof. It has a side annex that mirrors the shape of the main structure, to which a lean-to is attached. The Johan-Beetz Castle is situated on a rocky promontory jutting into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, at the mouth of the Piashti River, in the municipality of Baie-Johan-Beetz. This property is classified as a heritage building. The designation applies to both the exterior and interior of the building, but not to the land.
