The first monastery of the Ursulines of Quebec was completed in 1642, sthree years after the arrival of the nuns. The Ursulines soon understood the importance of preserving objects and documents. Mary of the Incarnation herself had saved the King's letters from the flames by throwing them from the window of her room. This was the beginning of the archives of the monastery of Quebec.
Since this is the site of the first monastery, the first chapel was in this wing. It was divided in two by a grill: the public chapel and the nuns’ choir. Its size allowed for only a few dozen people. Enlarging the building was unthinkable at the time, as this would require the onerous installation of additional fireplaces.
