Come and discover the exterior and interior architecture of the four successive churches of the Parish of St. Joachim de la Pointe-Claire. You will also learn anecdotes about their history: from a collection theft in 1732 to a patriot's speech in 1837, from a contractor's bankruptcy to the allocation of pews.
