Statement of Significance

Description of Historic Place

Le Manoir des Lacs Inn is a modern institutional two-and-a-half-storey brick building located on De la Pointe Street, on a peninsula at the foot of the magnificent Lac Baker. Set next to the Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin Church and Rectory, it was once the village school.

Heritage Value

Le Manoir des Lacs Inn is designated a Local Historic Place for its uses and for its unique setting.

Located on a peninsula at the foot of Lac Baker, the site of Le Manoir des Lacs Inn is unique for a school building. Surrounded by water, the grounds’ natural setting makes this a charming and picturesque site.

Le Manoir des Lacs Inn is the Village of Lac Baker’s former school, built in 1947, and used as a school until 1996. The building is an example of a former school that was successfully transformed into a commercial structure while respecting the building’s past history in the local community.
