St. Michel de Sillery Church

St. Michel de Sillery Church is a Gothic Revival structure built with sandstone walls and metal detailing. The building features a steeple and occupies a rectangular footprint in the center of the Sillery neighborhood.

Construction began in 1852 and was completed by the mid-1850s under different architects. A bell tower was later added to enhance the structure's visual prominence.

The church emerged from a mission that served local Indigenous peoples before becoming a Catholic parish. Today it remains a gathering place for worship and community events in the neighborhood.

The building sits near a main road and educational institution, making it easily accessible from different parts of the neighborhood. Access is generally possible during daylight hours for those wishing to see the exterior.

The bell tower was added decades after the main structure was finished, representing a second phase of construction. This later addition brought architectural refinement that transformed the building's visual impact.
