Old Prison of Trois-Rivières

19th-century prison turned guided visit, attached to Musée POP in the old city.

The Old Prison of Trois-Rivières operated from 1822 to 1986 and is now part of the Musée POP complex. Guided visits lead through cells and common spaces, focusing less on polished heritage and more on what confinement actually felt like.

It is one of the city's most memorable stops. English tours can be limited, so check the schedule before you plan your day around it.
