166 BAY AVENUE N Fort Qu'appelle, SK S0G 1S0

Welcome to one of Saskatchewan's most iconic historic homes. Built in 1886, this 3,578 sq ft Victorian masterpiece sits where Echo Lake meets the Qu'Appelle River — in the heart of Fort Qu'Appelle. With 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a past as both a beloved bed and breakfast and arts festival venue, this property is more than a home — it's a story waiting for its next chapter.

Originally part of the 1864 Hudson's Bay Company Trading Post, this land was the HBC's primary provisioning fort for the southern prairies — the very roots of the Fort Qu'Appelle community. The home was commissioned by Archibald McDonald, the last Chief Factor of the HBC, and constructed inside the original fort walls. Known locally as “the castle,” its striking brick façade is just the beginning.

Inside, time has preserved countless treasures: original Victorian tin ceilings, ornate wood fireplaces, gleaming hardwood floors, exquisite millwork, and the show-stopping grand oak staircase leading from the parlor. Each room echoes the elegance of a bygone era.

Positioned next to the town museum and steps from the river's edge, this landmark property is ready for its next steward to complete its restoration and bring new life to its storied walls. For details, please contact your favorite local agent.
