The Jesuit Chapel of Quebec City is a chapel of the Society of Jesus
located in Old Quebec. It was designed by François Baillairgé and built in
from 1818 to 1820. It is situated on Rue Dauphine in Old Quebec close to
the ramparts of Quebec City.
The Notre-Dame-de-Québec Congregation, based at the Jesuit College, received approval from the bishop for a new chapel on November 9, 1817. |
The chapel was designed by François Baillairgé. It was built on the
former grounds of the Jesuit College. Construction started in 1818 and
completed in 1820. It was expanded in 1857, and a new facade was added in
1930. The main altar was built in 1888 by Eugène Taché and the windows
were created in 1916 by B. Léonard.
Initially, the chapel was served by priests from the Notre-Dame Basilica-Cathedral. The Jesuits took over the congregation in 1849, and it is dedicated to the Canadian Martyrs. |
