Description: The Old Presbytery of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, standing on the shores of the village's lake, was constructed in 1851, near the village church on land donated by the seigneur de Montarville in 1842. The building was threatened with destruction after an new presbytery was built in 1960, but a local campaign protested. Instead, the building was classed as a monument historique national in 1966 and was disassembled stone by stone and reconstructed on it's present location, officially inaugurated on 18 February, 1967. It has been used since that time as a art gallery and banquet hall for public rentals and official civic ceremonies.
