Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Nicolet, Roman Catholic cathedral in Nicolet, Canada.

The Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste is the fifth cathedral of the Diocese of Nicolet, built from 1961 to 1963 to replace the previous cathedral, which was deemed unsafe after the 1955 landslide. It is the eighth church built since the parish was founded in 1702. The cathedral is noted for its stained glass windows, including a large window on the facade.

This structure was built in 1963 and represents the fifth cathedral of the Nicolet diocese since 1885, with previous buildings destroyed by collapse, fire, and landslide. The construction of this new building was a response to the repeated failures to preserve earlier structures at this site.

The cathedral is known for its stained glass windows, including a large window on the facade. The present church is the eighth built for the parish founded in 1702 and the fifth cathedral since the Diocese of Nicolet was created in 1885. The parish is named for Saint John the Baptist.

The cathedral is located in Nicolet and can be visited, with guided tours for groups arranged through the presbytery or Nicolet-Yamaska Tourism office. Visitors should contact these offices in advance to arrange a tour.

The building uses prestressed concrete tie beams, an innovative construction technique that gives the church its characteristic dynamic form with floating roof lines. This approach was uncommon for religious buildings in Quebec and demonstrates bold architectural choices in the 1960s.
