Built at the time of New France, the Maison Vézina is a historical heritage because eight generations of Vézina lived there, before this building was acquired by the municipality. Today, this house is a place of socio-cultural life in Boischatel, and even in Côte-de-Beaupré. Two podcasts have been created to inform the public about the history of this historic building.
The Convent of the Redemptoristines is a convent in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Québec, Canada, that once was home to nuns of the Redemptoristines order. Owing to its Gothic Revival architecture and importance in the region's religious history, it was added to the Cultural heritage register of Quebec in 2001. A decline in religious vocations resulted in a loss of numbers, and remaining elderly nuns moved to another site in the 1990s. The property was essentially abandoned after being used temporarily for other operations.
