Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church, 309 Rachel Street East

The church was built in 1875, on part of the former Comte farm. It burned down in 1898 and again in 1911, and was rebuilt in 1912. It was, at one time, the second-largest church in Montreal. The Paccard bells, imported from France in 1909, are original remains of this church and its more than 100 years of history. Its classical style, with a projecting porch, is unique among Montreal churches. With its neighbouring buildings, it was declared an historic site by the City of Montreal in 1989. Concerts are held from October to June. Come and be swept away by the music of renowned musical groups!
