Erected in 1722, the chapel was rebuilt in its current form in 1902. It houses several treasures, including a carved-wood d\u00e9cor produced by Pierre-No\u00ebl Levasseur and his workshop from 1726 to 1736. The Ursulines undertook the meticulous work of gilding everything with gold leaf from 1736 to 1739. Several art historians agree that it is the most beautiful collection of wood carvings that remains in Canada from the New France era. It is also the only example of religious d\u00e9cor dating from this period that has been preserved in its entirety.<\/span><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1646342500333{padding-top: 10vh !important;padding-bottom: 10vh !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}&#8221;][vc_row gap=&#8221;10&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1646343176706{margin-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1646342403996{margin-right: 2vh !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Chapel&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:28PX|text_align:left|color:%23167272|line_height:40px&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Poppins%3Aregular|font_style:500%20regular%3A500%3Anormal&#8221; letter_spacing=&#8221;2PX&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1646349480384{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 21px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a> <span lang=\"en-US\">The chapel also houses more than fifteen paintings, the vast majority of which are part of the Desjardins Collection.
