TL;DR
A miniature version of the iconic Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello has been created across the river from the original resort in Quebec. The replica chateau was built using 10,000 wooden popsicle sticks and measures 165 centimeters long, 60 centimeters wide and 70 centimeters high. The creator, Andre Fontaine, spent over 1,000 hours on the project and hopes to raise funds for the local food bank by auctioning it off.
