Église Saint-Charles-Borromée, Parish church in Charlesbourg, Canada.
The church stands with stone walls, featuring architectural elements designed by Thomas Baillairgé in a traditional Quebec religious building style.
The construction of the current building began in 1828, replacing a wooden chapel from 1666, and was consecrated in 1830 by coadjutor Joseph Signay.
The church functions as the central point of Charlesbourg's star-shaped village layout, representing early French colonial urban planning in North America.
The structure received exterior cement coating in 1936 and underwent lighting enhancement works in 2006 to highlight its architectural features.
The original cemetery adjacent to the church was relocated to Boulevard Louis-XIV in 1895, and new bells were installed in 1907.
