Notre-Dame-des-Victoires is a small Roman Catholic stone church in the Lower Town of Quebec City. Construction was started in 1687 on site of Champlain's habitation and was completed in 1723.〔http://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/lhn-nhs/det_E.asp?oqSID=0700&oqeName=Notre%2DDame%2Ddes%2DVictoires+Church&oqfName=%C9glise+Notre%2DDame%2Ddes%2DVictoires Notre-Dame-des-Victoires〕 ==History== Originally dedicated to ''l'Enfant Jésus'', it received the name ''Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire'' following the Battle of Quebec of 1690, in which an English expedition commanded by William Phips was forced to retreat. In 1711, its name was changed again, to ''Notre-Dame-des-Victoires'', after bad weather had sunk a British fleet commanded by Hovenden Walker. The church was largely destroyed by the British bombardment that preceded the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in September 1759. A complete restoration of the church was finished in 1816. François Baillairgé, architect, remodeled the church in 1816.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires à Québec )〕 The church, which was listed as a historic monument in 1929, remains a popular tourist attraction within the city, as well as a place of worship. It has undergone extensive restoration in recent decades, to restore its colonial French character. It was designated a National Historic Sites of Canada in 1988 and plaqued in 1992. In 2002, the church served as a filming location for ''Catch Me If You Can'', and again in 2004 for ''Taking Lives''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
