An authentic and moving visit

The guides at the Old Prison of Trois-Rivières, some of whom are ex-inmates, play a key role in ensuring an optimal visitor experience at this attraction. During the hour-long guided tour, they allow you to see what daily life was like in this prison which opened in 1822 and was still in operation until 1986. It’s unsettling to learn about some of the things that happened inside this prison! Discovering this site, now classified as a historic monument, can send chills up your spine.
