The Ministry of Culture and Communications makes available some of its data on heritage buildings cited by municipalities and indigenous communities (formerly the historical monuments cited). 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 the geographic coordinates associated with the heritage elements represent a point that locates the property on the territory and not their perimeter. This location is indicative and, therefore, has no legal significance. Refer to the Cultural Heritage Register, maintained at the MCC by the Cultural Heritage Registrar, for legal information. It is also possible that some heritage elements do not have geographic coordinates, so they are absent from cartographic representations.
