About the center ...

Created in 1993 by the city council of Château-Richer in cooperation with local people, it is a non-lucrative organization whose main objectives are :

preservation and highlighting of our heritage
restoration of old documents pertaining to our origins
research and sharing of our cultural and religious treasures

We believe that it is becoming more and more important to preserve our heritage through a better knowledge of our traditions, of who were our ancestors, how they lived, what were their values and their resources ... and we have made this our primary mission.
