Cathédrale de Nicolet

In March of 1961, construction of the present cathedral got under way. This cathedral church is quite remarquable for its contemporary style that contrasts sharply with that of former cathedrals, for numerous works of art created by Nicolet artists, for the huge stained glass window of its facade. It is also  remarquable for its size and lack of ornamentation; built on a slanted floor, without a single column. It is a large vessel, brightly lighted, with an unobstructed view of the altar. It is built in a form of a latin cross.
