Why visit

Designed at the Intendant's Office, this Empire-style wooden church carries its gable tower calmly, with sacristy and porch projecting from the long sides to give it a clear, considered poise.

Look for: Notice the tower's domed crown and the church's exterior cladding: their present form dates from 1930. At the edge of the church square stands a log granary from 1890.
