Church of St Charles, Roman Catholic church in La Cité-Limoilou, Canada
The stone church features two symmetrical bell towers with spires, a triple portal entrance, and a large rose window on its copper-roofed facade.
Built between 1918 and 1920, this structure represents the third church on the site, as previous buildings were destroyed by fires in 1899 and 1916.
The interior displays artwork by Guido Nincheri's frescoes and Leonardo Fischer's stained glass windows, reflecting the religious artistic traditions of Quebec City.
The church building accommodates 2000 people and underwent major restoration work in 2021, focusing on the bell towers and facade masonry.
The structure served as the mother church for the Limoilou district, from which all other local parishes originated, and was managed by Capuchin friars until 1982.
