Artillery Park
Fortifications of Québec National Historic Site
Through the meeting of guides and costumed characters, cross three centuries of history at Artillery Park located in the heart of Old Quebec! Artillery Park opens the doors to three fully restored historical buildings: The Arsenal Foundry, The Dauphine Redoubt and the Officers' Quarters.
Arsenal Foundry
Visit a living reminder of Québec’s military and industrial past!
This early 20th century industrial building is one of the most modern in Artillery Park. Discover its architecture and the artifacts on display. Be sure to visit the authentic Duberger-By model of Quebec City, built between 1806 and 1808, measuring 6.15 metres wide!
Dauphine Redoubt
Explore Québec City's military and social history and visit the Dauphine Redoubt, one of the oldest military buildings in North America.
This heritage building dating back to 1712 bears witness to more than 250 years of military occupation in Québec City. Discover the soldiers' quarters, a period kitchen, the antechamber and an officers' mess, among other things! Our guides will be happy to share stories about this building that has housed French, British and Canadian soldiers.
Officer's Quarters
Immerse yourself in the history of the British military period in Quebec City by visiting the officers' quarters.
Formerly a bakery, this building was modified to accommodate a British officer and his family. The chic and distinguished decoration of this building takes you back to the 1830's, where patterned tapestries and colored carpets are a perfect match. Some unusual objects from the era await you!
