Grain terminal (silos)located on the eastern side of the Bassin Louise.
Founded by Johann Peter Bunge as a grain trading concern in Amsterdam, Holland, in 1818, it wasn't until the establishment of Bunge North America in 1923 that the international agribusiness giant had a prescence in North America. By the later half of the twentieth century Bunge had acquired a number of grain handling facilities along the Mississippi and the St Lawrence Rivers to enhance their grain trading and export business.
The Quebec City facility handles grain headed to the Atlantic coast, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The 81 silos were built in 1913 on land created by fill dredged from the river. They are 98 feet tall and over 2,000 feet long. With a capacity of 225,000 metric tonnes of storage space, they are used to store wheat, barley, corn and soybeans. Over 3.4 million tonnes of grain are handled annually, with a capability of loading up to 5,000 tonnes an hour.
The Image Mill
Since 2008, every evening in the summer months the silos have been used as a back screen to show The Image Mill. The show, created by artist Robert Lepage for Quebec's 400th anniversary tells the story of Quebec over 400 years through video, sound and pictures without the use of words. .
