Architecture
The Church of Sainte-Luce was built between 1924 and 1926.[5] It was designed by Louis-Napoléon Audet, an architect mainly active in the Sherbrooke region.[6] This building replaced an earlier church that was destroyed in a fire on April 25, 1924.[7] The original presbytery, built between 1890 and 1891, is still standing.[8] The church's cemetery[9] contains a dead house[10] and a calvary.[11] A grotto also commemorates the Lourdes apparitions.[12]
In terms of residential architecture, houses constructed in the 19th century are found on Champoux Street[13] and East Saint-Joseph Street[14]. Other residential buildings from the same period are present in the neighbouring parish of Disraeli.
