Nestled in the walkable heart of Old Quebec (Vieux Quebec), the Roman Catholic Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church (Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires) stands as one of North America’s oldest churches. Construction of this small stone church began in 1688 on the site where Samuel de Champlain established his original settlement. The church’s enduring presence and historical significance make it a beloved landmark. Visitors today can explore its modest yet charming interior, which reflects the rich history and spiritual heritage of the region.
