About Saint-Eustache Church
Canada counts Saint-Eustache Church among Saint-Eustache’s 2 National Historic Sites.
Saint-Eustache Church National Historic Site of Canada is a Roman Catholic place of worship in the heart of the town of Saint-Eustache, Quebec, just northwest of the island of Montreal. Begun in 1780, this substantial stone church features a monumental neoclassical façade with twin spires and belfries. A small pediment surmounted by a statue of St. Eustace screens the roof peak. The façade exhibits damage inflicted during the battle of Saint-Eustache in 1837, when the church also suffered extensive fire damage. Rebuilt several times in its history, most recently in 1905-07, Saint-Eustache Church remains a powerful symbol of the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837. Official recognition refers to the building on its footprint, including the sacristy and the Sainte-Anne chapel.
