Description
The Eglise de Notre Dame Mt. Carmel, a wooden structure, was built in 1909 by Edmundston contractor Léonide Gagné from plans by architect Theo Daust.
The twin Baroque-style belfries of the church house two archangels blowing trumpets sculpted in 1908 by Quebec sculptor Louis Jobin.
Official Catholic religious services ceased in 1978, and in 1984 the church was acquired by the L’Association culturelle et historique du Mont‑Carmel, a non profit organization, which is restoring the church building as a museum and a performing arts center.
