This cathedral and historical monument with its assymetrical towers is the seat of the Catholic archdiocese of Quebec, and adjacent to the Séminaire de Québec. The church has been rebuilt several times, and the current house of worship finished in the 1920s is built in a mix of neobaroque and neoclassical style.
The Cathedral Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec is the primatial church and seat of the Archdiocese of Quebec, located at 16, rue de Buade, Quebec City, Quebec. It is the oldest church in Canada and the first to be elevated to the rank of minor basilica, receiving the honor from Pope Pius IX in 1874. Four governors of New France and the bishops of Quebec are buried in the crypt, including the first, François de Laval. The church is a National Historic Site of Canada, and located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Historic District of Old Québec.
