Frontenac Castle, Old Quebec City, Canada

In Today's Daily Jigsaw Puzzle, we visit Château Frontenac, located in Old Quebec City, Canada. It is a grand hotel with a rich history and striking architecture ♥

Constructed in 1893 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, it was designed by American architect Bruce Price in the Châteauesque style, which combines elements of French Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The hotel's dramatic turrets and towers have made it a landmark of Quebec City's skyline, overlooking the St. Lawrence River.

Named after Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac, a prominent governor of New France in the late 17th century, the castle was never a royal residence but has been a symbol of luxury and history.

No one lived there in the traditional sense, as it was always intended as a hotel. However, it has hosted many notable guests, including political figures, royalty, and celebrities. During World War II, it played a significant role when Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill met there for the Quebec Conferences, shaping Allied strategy.

Today, Château Frontenac is not only a luxury hotel but also a living monument to Quebec's French heritage ♥
