The government can declare as a heritage site a territory that is of interest for its archaeological, architectural, artistic, artistic, emblematic, ethnological, historical, identity, landscape, scientific, scientific, social, social, urban or technological value.¹

The Ministry of Culture and Communications makes available some of its data on heritage sites declared by the Government of Quebec (formerly historic and natural districts). These elements of real estate heritage are part of the heritage protected under the Cultural Heritage Act (L.R.Q., c. 21) and are registered in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Register.

These elements and all related information can be found in the Répertoire du Patrimoine Culturel du Québec. www.patrimoine-cultur.gouv.qc.ca

Note that each of the declared heritage sites is represented by a polygon delineating its perimeter. A version represented in the form of points locating the site on the territory is also available.

These locations are provided for information purposes only and, therefore, have no legal effect. Refer to the Cultural Heritage Register, maintained at the Ministry by the Registrar of Cultural Heritage, for legal information.
