That's an impressive looking church... it looks straight out of a Quebec town.

Well it is in one of our most French communities. A lot of the early settlers from Quebec.

And now, Beauceville, a church that was built before the Confederation, and that you will visit from the dark basement to the steeple (or the opposite). Enjoy.

Sainte-Hénédine
That village is just south of Quebec city, (20 minutes from the bridges, as they say in the ads).
At the time of the church construction, the village barely had more than a thousand inhabitants, according to Census Canada. The population is now about 1 300.
However, they built that church.
It's hard not to see a kind of gesture of affirmation.
Enjoy.

La Visitation church, in Ahuntsic borough in Montreal. This is the oldest church on the island of Montreal. The front and the steeples date from 1850, but the church itself is from 1749-1752.

a very impressive place. We visited back in 2016. I also went there back in the 1970s several times.

The St-Ambroise street church in Villeray on Beaubien street.

as per wiki:

Saint-Ambroise Church was built between 1924 and 1925. It is part of an architectural ensemble that also includes the presbytery and École Anthelme-Verreau. All three buildings were designed by Montreal architect Ernest Cormier. Also located nearby is École Saint-Ambroise which was designed by Jean-Omer Marchand.

Saint-Ambroise Church was one of the first major works by Ernest Cormier. The Church's architecture was inspired by the Pre-Roman architecture of Northern Italy, notably for the layout and the simple form of the ensemble. The belltower is reminiscent of St Mark's Campanile in Venice. The facade and the walls of the church are covered in brown brick.

Here is a drone video of «Les Éboulements» church.

The church dates back to 1932 but it was built on the
same model as that which burned a year earlier and which dated from 1804. This follows from the will of the citizens to keep the «cachet» of their
old church in the landscape. A very good decision.

There are a lot of beautiful villages and towns in Quebec and all cross Canada. However, to me, Les Éboulements is a fair candidate to be among the villages with the most grandiose, beautiful and dramatic landscapes. It is really worth it. Enjoy.

Word this morning that this church was destroyed by fire early this morning. It was named after the priest that lead 4 families from Quedec into the area.

Sad loss of a beautiful landmark.
