Artillery Park Gun and Carriage Storage Buildings

In the heart of the city of Québec, the Artillery Park bears witness to more than 250 years of French, British and Canadian military history. Accompanied by an interpreter, delve into the history of this site and appreciate the unique architecture of the three restored historic buildings on the site.

This site, where the French built various defense structures in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was of great strategic importance to the history of Québec. Towards the middle of the eighteenth century, the area was gradually transformed into a garrison. The British Royal Artillery Regiment established its headquarters there until 1871. A cartridge factory set up in 1879 provided munitions for the Canadian army until it closed down in 1964.
