Dominicans arrived in Quebec City in 1906, and upon the approval of diocesan authorities opened their first church on Christmas Eve in 1930. But in 1939, after a fire almost destroyed the building, extensive renovations were needed and additions, including a mausoleum, were made as well. The vast symbolism and artistic value of the English neo-Gothic architecture and more than 500 sculptures are notable features of this magnificent church.

This historic hall was designed by Charles Baillairge in 1868 and is located in the Chapel Bon-Pasteur. The church is known for housing 32 religious paintings of the community nuns, works of Levasseur, Casavant, Plamondon and Favre, as well as for its baroque style carved wood designs. The church is open to visitors every day of the year.

Originally built in 1847, it was destroyed and rebuilt in 1884 using the design of two medieval French churches with a spire 73 meters high. The interior and exterior sculptures are a great attraction to be seen. The 36 stained glass windows contain 30 sections of glass each. Seven varieties of Italian marble were used for the tower and inside visitors can admire the beautiful paintings, marble furniture and a monumental organ.

This church was built between 1914 and 1923 and is the largest church in Quebec City. Black granite from Rivière-à-Pierre, the nearby river, was used for the exterior. The unique interior design is enriched with scenes from the Old and New Testaments and scenes from the life of Saint-Roch in each of its stained glass windows. It has the largest Casavant organ in Quebec City, fine oak furnishings, a sculptured sanctuary and four beautiful paintings brought over from France.

This church celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2009. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church’s existence is linked to the British conquest in 1759 and was built in 1810 in honor of the apostle it is named after. Currently it is the oldest congregation of Scottish descent in Canada. The building forms a triangle with the nearby Protestant School and Kirk Hall.

Built in 1804, this was the first cathedral of the Diocese of Quebec built outside the British Isles. It is home to two parishes: Paroisse de Tous les Saints and the Parish of Quebec. The simple architecture is a unique masterpiece containing writings and plaques, paintings and communion silverware. In 1989 it was made a National Historic Site of Canada.

This cathedral dates back to the 17th century and a church of the oldest parish in North America. It has been restored several times over the years in order to maintain the marvelous architecture still admired to this day. The crypt contains the tombs of four governors of New France and 20 bishops. The inside chancel lamp was donated by Louis XIV and completing the impressive adornments of this church are stained glass windows, paintings, an episcopal throne dais and and ornamental baldaquin canopy.

This is one of the oldest churches in Quebec City, built of stone in 1690 but not completed until 1723. The name was given in 1711 with many changes made to its surroundings afterward. Considering the history of the church and the city itself, it has a very rich interior with paintings and sculptures from various centuries. This monument of religion and art should certainly be on your list of places to visit!
