* To explain these dates it is necessary to note that Champlain lived for
years in one of the buildings of the Fort of Saint Louis which he first
erected, and the name château is often applied to that structure; but the
château, properly so-called, was not commenced until 1647, and it as
well as its successors was within the limits of the fort. It was
demolished in 1694 by Governor Frontenac, who rebuilt it on the
original foundations, and it was this castle which, in a remodelled and
enlarged form, under the English régime, lasted until 1834.
