L'Église de Saint-André / The Church of Saint-André

Built between 1805 and 1811 to replace a chapel dating from 1791, the Church of Saint-André was inspired by parish churches of the Récollet plan built during the French Regime. This influence appears in its simple plan with a nave and narrow, semi-circular apse and in the façade with its centre door and belfry. Its elaborate interior decoration and part of its furnishings, executed between 1834 and 1836, provide the best preserved example of the work of sculptor Louis-Xavier Leprohon. The annex, constructed about 1822, was one of the first attached to a rural Quebec parish church and served as a presbytery and sacristy.
