* 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.
