Summary

Description
Français : Une pierre provenant du château Saint-Louis, incorporée dans une arche du Château Frontenac.

« Le Château Frontenac cache un trésor patrimonial d'une grande valeur. À chaque jour, des centaines de personnes passent sous la pierre de la croix de Malte sans même l'apercevoir. Il s'agit de la plus ancienne pierre symbolique au pays. Dans le plus récent numéro du magazine Prestige, l'historien Jean-Marie Lebel nous explique de quoi il s'agit. »

« Il y a 375 ans, le 11 juin 1636, Charles Huault de Montmagny débarque à Québec. Il est le premier gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France. Contrairement à ce que plusieurs croient, Samuel de Champlain n’a jamais porté ce titre. Montmagny est chevalier de l’ordre de Malte. C’est lui qui fait installer une pierre arborant une croix de Malte sur la façade du château Saint-Louis. Cette pierre se retrouve aujourd’hui au dessus du passage dans la cour intérieure du Château-Frontenac. » - facebook.com
