Saint-Sulpice Seminary Montreal's oldest building

130 Notre-Dame St W (Near St François-Xavier) Montreal, QC H2Y 1T1 http://www.old.montreal.qc.ca

The oldest existing building in the city of Montreal, erected between 1684 and 1687, this seminary stands as a testament to the Sulpician nuns, under whose stewardship the fledgling province of Quebec developed. Designed by François Dollier de Casson, salient features include the fieldstone walls, lush gardens and the oldest church clock on the continent, itself a striking piece of work. The building is a sober piece of work, more an artifact of colonial pragmatism than a religious monument. Review © 2009, Wcities
