Québec - Hôtel Dieu and Augustines de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Québec Musem

A short distance north-east of the Parc de l'Artillerie in Québec stands the Hôtel Dieu, an Augustinian hospital built in the 1640s. The small Augustines de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Québec Musem contains some handsome pieces of old furniture and a variety of domestic items from days gone by. There are also displays of old surgical instruments and a collection of religious art.

The hospital's well preserved vaults were used as workshops and stores and also as places of refuge.
