Saint-Frédéric Church

Saint-Frédéric Church

Built in 1858, the stonefield church of Saint-Frédéric, to which the sacristy (1888) and the front porch (1925) were added afterwards, proudly stands at the heart of the village. The bright inside of the church showcases stained glass windows,  an arch decorated with vine-like patterns, a high altar, a pulpit and paintings made by  artists and experienced craftspeople. The church also owns a Casavant organ acquired in 1909. Also noteworthy, there are no steps to enter the church, which is at ground level. There is a walking tour with ""memory"" signs showing 7 points of interests for the town. Flyers are available at the municipal office.
