Saint-Germain Cathedral
Saint-Germain Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in downtown Rimouski, Canada.
Saint-Germain Cathedral features grey stone walls supported by buttresses, with a 28-meter vault and numerous pointed arch windows containing stained glass panels.
The cathedral, designed by architect Victor Bourgeau, was constructed between 1854 and 1859, becoming the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Rimouski in 1867.
The interior includes a gilded retable from 1833 created by François-Thomas Baillargé and a Casavant Frères organ installed in 1921 with 63 stops.
The cathedral measures 75 meters in length and contains three bells with a total weight of 1,641 kilograms, installed in 1891 for religious ceremonies.
During the 1950 fire that destroyed nearly half of Rimouski, the cathedral remained untouched while surrounding buildings burned to the ground.
