Comments: The Old Seminary with the stone wall and half of the wrought iron gate. This Jesuit seminary was founded by monseigneur Laval (later the first bishop of Nouvelle France) in 1663. In general, this architure is a synthesis of the styles of French monastic architecture from the 16th and 17th centuries. Now the Old Seminary houses the Musée de l'Amérique Française (Museum of French America).
