The Ursuline Monastery of Quebec City (French: Monastère des Ursulines de Québec) was founded by a missionary group of Ursuline nuns in 1639 under the leadership of Mother Marie of the Incarnation, O.S.U. It is the oldest institution of learning for women in North America.[1] Today, the monastery serves as the General Motherhouse of the Ursuline Sisters of the Canadian Union.[2] The community there also operates an historical museum[3] and continues to serve as a teaching centre.[4]

The complex was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1972.[5]
