House of Literature

Visiting the library, which was once a majestic church, is a captivating experience that seamlessly melds the reverence of history with the innovation of the modern age. The architectural fusion is nothing short of breathtaking, with the grandeur of its magestic windows and high vaulted ceilings coexisting harmoniously alongside sleek, contemporary furnishings. The result is an enchanting atmosphere that beckons visitors to linger amidst the juxtaposition of old and new. This unique transformation has breathed new life into the space, creating a haven where the serenity of a sacred past converges with the vibrancy of a modern library, making it an utterly delightful place to lose oneself in the world of books.

A fabulous place to work out of and so many books (including locally written) in French to help with learning. My suggestion is the comics section! The staff are so kind!

Today, I finally had the chance to visit a place that had been on my Bucket List for quite some time, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! I vividly remember reading an article about this place when it was being transformed into a Cultural center back in 2011. What impressed me the most was how they were able to preserve the double tall window of the cathedral and the exterior, while also infusing modern design elements. The interior exudes a sense of tranquility and boasts a remarkably sleek and immaculate design. It is a haven for those seeking solace or a quiet place to study. Undoubtedly, this place is a true gem!

Stunning building, one of my favorite piece of architecture in Quebec city.

Recommended by the tour guide when we took a free walking tour, it is a former church converted into a library. Beautiful from the inside. It is a good place to take a pause, admire the interiors and browse through a few books. It is right outside the Morrin library which was a former prison.

Gorgeous place, a must stop for any architecture fans. The church was converted into a public library in 2015. It’s a calm an quiet place to take a moment during your trip in the city.

July 2021 a nice library with a relatively good collection of books given it's size. Architecturally beautiful and appears to be reinvented and renovated completely white. Sleek inside interiors. Very quiet as libraries should be.

Lovey interior and exterior. Sadly the accessible entrance was locked but we found our way in through the entrance at the bottom of the stairs.
