Église du Très-Saint-Sacrement de Québec, Catholic church in Saint-Sacrement, Quebec, Canada.
Église du Très-Saint-Sacrement de Québec is a church built with two symmetrical bell towers and designed in a Latin cross layout with a wide transept. The interior was planned for large gatherings and includes a crypt that can accommodate many people.
Construction began in 1920 and was completed in 1924, with financial support from the Catholic community in New York. This assistance made it possible to complete an ambitious project during a period of economic difficulty.
The stained glass windows created by Marius Plamondon between 1953 and 1961 show how Quebec's glass art evolved during that period. Visitors can see the colored light effects change throughout the day as they move through the interior.
Visiting is easiest during warmer months when access roads are clear and the building is fully available. In winter, plan for snow-covered paths and allow extra time to explore the interior comfortably.
The building received heritage status in 2022 after the community opposed its demolition due to renovation costs. This protection preserved an important structure from disappearing.
