Saint-Pierre Church

The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul church was opened for worship in 1608, the year of the founding of Quebec. From an architectural point of view, it is a transitional building between the Gothic style and the Renaissance style. The bell tower and part of the facade were rebuilt at the end of the 18th century after a storm caused damage to this part of the building in 1731. Thus, the portal is tinged with classical influences, which are expressed by the presence of pilasters and a triangular pediment. Inside, stained glass windows depict episodes from the founding of New France. One of them depicts the founding of the city of Quebec, while another, offered by New Brunswick, represents the post of Sainte-Croix Island, founded in 1604 by Pierre Dugua de Mons. Finally, another glass roof evokes the founding of Jacopolis on Brouage in 1555.
The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Vincent church is decorated with stained glass windows testifying to the ties of friendship that unite France and Quebec. Six of the nine stained glass windows are the work of the artist Nicolas Sollogoub. The church also houses an 18th century Virgin, an ex-voto representing a ship from the early 20th century, as well as the tomb of the former governor of Place de Brouage, Claude d'Assigné, Marquis de Carnavalet, who died on September 10, 1685. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiers-Brouage#Patrimoine_architectural
