L’Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, Place Royale, Lower Town, Québec City

Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, Québec’s oldest church, stands on the site of Samuel de Champlain’s first home, which also included a fort and trading post. Built in 1688 the church has been restored twice. Its name comes from two French victories against the British: the first in 1690 against Admiral William Phipps and another in 1711 against Sir Hovendon Walker.
