Maison de la Littérature library

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.

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.

I stopped in here in the middle of a downpour and was amazed by the beautiful architecture. The library is built in an old temple. The beautiful large glass windows allow for lots of natural light to enter the library.

Great use of an older building with various uses... including a jail and a school. Plus, if you have a rogue statue that could offend some people, put it here... take the tour to find out what I’m talking about... and to see where “the body” was found. You’ll see!

Beautiful library in the Old City. Interesting architecture. I thoroughly enjoyed the facility even if the books seemed to be mainly in French. Was still a nice historical landmark to visit and see.

Such a unique and incredible space! One of the most beautiful libraries I've ever seen! The architecture and what they have done to preserve former religious spaces in the city of Quebec is quite wonderful!

Everything I wanted the disappointing Morin Center to be. Welcoming to everyone, amazing architecture, plenty of bathrooms and even a keurig vending machine?? Open later than most places in QC and there was live music the night I came. I wish I’d discovered this my first day here, thank you for being such a great public resource.

Beautiful library especially at night. Well worth a brief visit

Beautiful modern public library in a converted church.

Beautiful French language library in the Old City

Beautiful library and very calm. Great place to study and/or relax. The puzzle room is super nice.

I love this place! I come here often to work on my stuff.

A modern and pristine library in a classic old church. Wow, interesting! Worth a brief look around. (If nothing else, a great place to refresh yourself.)

Great place for study. There is also a piano you can play without interupting others.

Super staff, great atmosphere and technology. I research here often and miss it in these times of Covid-19.

This is a place to go when you are tired of seeing the same thing on your holiday. Guaranteed it will wow you
