Old Longueuil, Heritage site in Longueuil, Canada.

The district spans along the Saint Lawrence River with 450 historical buildings, including the Co-Cathedral of Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue and Saint Mark's Anglican Church.

Charles Le Moyne established this settlement in 1657, constructing Fort Longueuil between 1685 and 1690 as a fortified residence on the shores.

The district received official heritage status in 1993, preserving numerous architectural elements from different periods of Quebec's development through the centuries.

Rue Saint-Charles serves as the main commercial street of the district, containing multiple restaurants, shops, and the borough administrative offices.

The archaeological remains of Fort Longueuil rest beneath Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue Cathedral, earning National Historic Site status in 1923.
