Saint-Sulpice Seminary
Saint-Sulpice Seminary, Catholic seminary in Ville-Marie, Canada.
The limestone U-shaped building features a neoclassical entrance gate with Ionic columns and encompasses educational facilities within its historical walls.
The seminary, constructed between 1684 and 1687 under François Dollier de Casson's leadership, stands as the oldest structure in Old Montreal maintaining its original purpose.
The seminary maintains educational programs for Catholic priests while preserving the traditions established by the Society of Priests of Saint-Sulpice in New France.
