Quebec's Petite Chapelle de Tadoussace (Tadoussac Chapel) was built in 1747. Located near the iconic Hotel Tadoussac, it's the oldest wooden church in Canada.
Since it was built by the Jesuit missionaries in their attempt to convert the Montagnais to Christianity, it's also known as the Indians' Chapel. It contains some of the original religious items that were used when the first mass was celebrated on June 24, 1750.
