Explore
the world of the
Ursuline Sisters!
Ursuline sisters were much more than women dedicated to prayer. They were
pioneers
of
Trois-Rivières.
In 1697, the Ursuline Sisters founded the first school for young girls and the first hospital in Trois-Rivières. This community of religious women inhabited the monastery for more than 300 years until their departure in 2019.
Discover the extraordinary lives of these women through our exhibitions and guided tour of the heritage site.
