ENGLISH VERSION

Situated on the shady banks of the gentle Richelieu River, the seigneury was granted by the king in 1694 but colonized only around 1740.

 

Saint-Denis experienced an eventful period during the 1837-38 rebellion of the Patriots against British authority. A unique museum, the Maison Nationale des Patriotes, is devoted to them.  
 

Saint-Denis has numerous buildings of heritage interest. The church site is a highly typical ensemble. The church is a masterpiece of Quebec religious architecture. Saint-Denis remains very active today through its economy, tourism and farming. Besides, the wine route stops at the Clos St-Denis cider maker.

 

You can cross the river with your car to Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu on the opposite shore, taking a charming little boat in summer or right on the ice in winter, when winter cooperates.
