Description
Built on the site of the first chapel constructed by Champlain in 1633, Notre-Dame de Quebec Church was erected in 1647 and became the first parish church in North America in 1664. The designation of Cathedral was given in 1674. It was elevated to the rank of minor basilica in 1874.
Ravaged by the bombardments during the English Conquest in 1759 and destroyed again by fire in 1922, the cathedral has been rebuilt twice. The church's bell tower and portions of the walls remain from the original 1647 structure.
Notre-Dame Basilica is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec and was declared an historical monument in 1966.
