Recognized as a historic monument by the Ministry of Culture and Communications of Quebec, the Cathedral of Christ the King is an architectural wonder. Built in 1969 on a crypt dating back to 1934, the red cedar wood-clad exterior and modern design make this architecturally unusual cathedral. It is also North America’s only wooden cathedral. The church has a presbytery connected to the main prayer area, which has typical elements of a church, including an altar, a choir area, candle areas and statue areas. Visitors are also allowed into the basement on certain days. Located on a hill facing the bay of Gaspé, this cathedral is a must-see!
