5. Sainte-Marie Catholic Church

Constructed in the form of a cross, the tallest wooden church in North America features a magnificent steeple soaring 190 feet in height.
Reviewed By JanetSFMB
The largest wooden structure in the world, this stunning church soars 190 feet tall and expresses the devotion of the local Acadian community (French-speaking people who inhabited eastern Canada & the U.S. since 1604). The lofty interior vault, stained-glass windows and statuary are beautiful. Visit the history sections to learn how the local populace, fishers and hunters of modest means, helped build and operate this beautiful church that is now in sad repair inside. Well worth a visit.
