Quebec City Armoury, Military drill hall in La Cité-Limoilou, Canada.
The Quebec City Armoury features steep gabled roofs, conical towers, and Gothic Revival architectural elements built with local stone and materials.
Architect Eugène-Étienne Taché designed this military building in 1888, which later endured a devastating fire in 2008 and underwent complete reconstruction by 2018.
The building contains the sculpture 'JE ME SOUVIENS' by André Gauthier, honoring soldiers from the Royal 22e Régiment who died in military conflicts.
The reconstructed facility now serves multiple functions, hosting military units, government offices, and public events in the heart of Quebec City.
During the 2008 fire, local firefighters and regiment members managed to save ninety percent of the historical artifacts stored in the building's museum.
