DO visit the library if you can! Sometimes they have special events too. They have the old prison tours also, but the library, in my opinion, is far superior!

I have lived most of my life in Quebec city but must admit that I had never been to the Morrin Centre before. I moved to the UK 8 years ago and met a nice man who later proposed. We decided to get married in Quebec and I then had the difficult task of finding a suitable place to get... More

My husband and I had no idea that the Morrin Centre existed. An enthusiastic man, passionate about this building (it turned out he was a director of the center), engaged us in conversation on the street and introduced us to the building as we were walking by. Along with three other passer-by’s, we discovered we were entering the first jail... More

It is a bit off the beaten path so make sure you don't miss this! Visiting the prison was amazing, you enter through a normal door, and you see this ancient narrow passageway right in the building! It takes you to a cell block where there is a big wooden table, and cells all around. The guide was great at... More

The grounds are lovely, and the building itself is stunning. It used to be a jail !! More
