Église Saint-Charles-Borromée, Parish church in Charlesbourg, Canada.

The Église Saint-Charles-Borromée is a stone parish church whose plans were drawn by architect Thomas Baillairgé in 1827, with construction starting the following year. It stands at the centre of Charlesbourg's star-shaped Trait-Carré layout. A cement coating was applied to the exterior walls in 1936, and the building was lit up in 2006.

The parish was canonically erected in 1693 and a stone church rose from about 1695, becoming the heart of Charlesbourg's star-shaped trait-carré. In 1827 Thomas Baillairgé drew plans for a larger church, built from 1828 and consecrated on 25 May 1830 by coadjutor Joseph Signay. The first church was demolished in 1836 and its site turned into a cemetery.

The church gave its name to the surrounding Trait-Carré, the star-shaped village layout centred on the original 1695 stone church. The parish was canonically erected in 1693, and the present building, consecrated in 1830, still serves as the parish church of Charlesbourg.

The church stands at the centre of the Trait-Carré, Charlesbourg's star-shaped street layout, so it can be reached on foot from the surrounding radial streets. The exterior walls have been covered with a cement coating since 1936, and the building has been lit at night since 2006. Check local opening times before planning an interior visit.

The original cemetery beside the church was moved to Boulevard Louis-XIV in 1895, and new bells were installed in 1907. These changes reflect how the congregation adapted its sacred spaces as the village grew.
