Sainte-Anne de Varennes Basilica, Minor basilica in Varennes, Canada

The neo-Romanesque structure stands with two bell towers flanking a central rose window on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River.

The current basilica, built between 1884 and 1887, replaced three previous churches constructed in 1692, 1718, and 1780 at the same location.

The interior features artworks by multiple Canadian artists, including stained glass windows by F.C. Spence & Sons and sculptures by Philippe Hébert.

Visitors can find the basilica at 30 Rue de la Fabrique in Varennes, Quebec, operating under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint-Jean-Longueuil.

The remains of Saint Marguerite d'Youville rest in the basilica's transept since 2010, making it an important religious pilgrimage site.
