- Description
- Established by Bishop Laval in 1663 to provide training for the priesthood Québec's Jesuit Seminary quickly became, under the guidance of its founder, the leading institution of learning in New France and the nucleus from which the Université Laval was formed. The university now has its own campus in the south-western suburb of Ste-Foy.
- A number of university faculties (e.g. architecture) still occupy some of the Seminary's historic old buildings.
- The Seminary's Briand Chapel was built in 1785 and its 18th c. interior remains unchanged. Many of the wood carvings are masterpieces of their kind.
