Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral
Visitors to the Circuit patrimonial de Chicoutimi will stop in front of the Cathédrale Saint-François-Xavier de Chicoutimi, a Catholic cathedral built between 1919 and 1922 to replace the one destroyed by fire in 1912. The architects combined Renaissance architecture (inspired by Greek tradition and emphasizing symmetry, balance and proportion) with Romanesque architecture (designed to give an impression of power by building thick walls capable of supporting the vault).
