L'Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church

L'Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church occupies the site of Champlain's Habitation and was built in the late 17th century, bearing the signature of renowned architects including Baillif, Maillou, and Baillairgé. Its name recalls the French victories of 1690 and 1711 over the British fleet. Destroyed during the siege of 1759, it was rebuilt through popular interest in this place of worship. A symbol of the French presence in Canada, the present church is the result of several building programs reflecting successive styles that contribute to Québec City's rich architectural heritage.
