Historic

Here is the history of our reception hall:

The " Rapides d’en haut " named " Rigolets ", after " Costeau du Lac " and now the " Côteau-du-Lac ", was a strategic point for the French troops to protect the road to Montreal, to promote the trade et keep in respect " Iroquois " and the English troops.

Côteau-du-Lac belonged to Seigniory of Soulanges, territory conceded by the governor of Callière whose name was modified with time by " Cayer " " Caillé dit Jasmin " and finally " Jasmin ".

Construction of the mill started in early 18th century (1700). It served as a shelter for the troops, trade of fur and protection of the territory.

A certain confusion exists in regards to the first owner. Some documents mention that the mill first belonged to a lord while others confirm that the building has always been the property of particular traders.

In 1831, the miller Godfroi Beaudet took possession of the site and it was in 1854, that his son George-Jules bought it. Since 1858 the trend of the river De l’ile (Delisle today) contribute to make turn the millstone turn serving as grinder for wheat grains.

Mr Jean Langevin acquired the mill in 1906 to produce wheat flour, buckwheat flour and moulded for animals. In 1944, Mr Victore Langevin, bought it to his father et did the mill " Victor Langevin ltée ". From 1906 to 1967 it was the most prosperous period for the mill.

The building was bought by Mr Steve Steinman in 1967 who modified it to begin production of the " Rasha " a cereal derived from buckwheat . It burned in 1975 but Mr Steinman renovated it and continued production.

In 1983, the inside of the mill found his authentic aspect thanks to Mr Ernest Besner . It served tourist purposes until 1992 with the Office du Tourisme of Côteau-du-Lac inc. receptions are now its only function.

It is since 1995 that the moulin Callières di Jasmin specializes in organizing your wedding in Montreal.
