Ancien séminaire de Sainte-Thérèse, Catholic seminary and educational heritage building in Sainte-Thérèse, Canada.

The seminary building combines Second Empire and Neo-Gothic styles, featuring ashlar stone walls, a central projection, and two lateral projections across five levels.

Founded by Charles-Joseph Ducharme in the early 19th century, the seminary experienced a fire in 1881, leading to reconstruction by architects Victor Roy and Jean-Roch Poitras.

The seminary played a central role in developing French-speaking education in Quebec, training teachers and religious leaders throughout the 19th century.

The building now forms part of Collège Lionel-Groulx, located on rue Saint-Louis in Sainte-Thérèse, with direct access to regional transportation networks.

The Saint Joseph chapel, constructed in 1886, contains the tomb of founder Charles-Joseph Ducharme and commemorative plaques detailing the seminary's history.
