Église Sainte-Agnès de Lac-Mégantic

The brick church features a Latin cross layout with rectangular nave, side aisles, transept, and a polygonal apse crowned by asymmetrical bell towers.

Built between 1911 and 1913, the church replaced an original 1883 chapel and united two communities: Agnès on the south and Mégantic on the north.

The structure combines Gothic architectural elements with an eclectic design approach, representing the evolution of religious architecture at the turn of the 20th century.

The church contains a large stained glass window from 1849, created by William Wailes workshop, which visitors can observe during guided and self-guided tours.

The building stands as the only known religious collaboration between architects Joseph-Arthur Godin and Louis-Napoléon Audet, who designed it together in 1910.
