Saint-Dominique Church, Roman Catholic church in La Cité-Limoilou, Quebec, Canada
Saint-Dominique Church is a church building in the La Cité-Limoilou neighborhood built from white granite with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses in the Gothic Revival style. The structure displays the characteristic vertical lines and elaborate stonework typical of this architectural approach.
The building was constructed between 1929 and 1930 to serve an expanding congregation that had outgrown the original chapel in the area. The December 25, 1930 opening marked an important moment in the neighborhood's development.
This is a gathering place where neighborhood residents come to worship and celebrate important occasions together. The building serves as a focal point for the local community's spiritual and social life.
The building is located at 175 Grande-Allée Ouest in the neighborhood and can be easily found by walking along the main street. Visitors should remember that it remains an active place of worship, so respectful behavior is expected.
The stained glass windows and detailed stonework were crafted by local artisans during construction and showcase the skill of the region's craftspeople. These details earned the building official heritage recognition in 2014.
