Édifice Marie-Guyart, Brutalist skyscraper in Parliament Hill, Canada.
The 33-story concrete tower stands 126.5 meters tall with large bay windows offering natural light throughout the government office spaces within.
Construction began in 1967 during Quebec's government expansion, and the building was completed in 1972 under architect Édouard Fiset's direction.
The building received its name in 1987 to honor Saint Marie of the Incarnation, founder of the Ursuline order in New France.
The complex includes underground parking across four levels accommodating 1,500 vehicles and contains 12 elevators serving multiple government ministries.
The Observatoire de la Capitale at the top provides views of Quebec City from 221 meters above sea level.
