Saint-Anselme

Saint-Anselme (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t‿ɑ̃sɛlm]) is a village in the Bellechasse Regional County Municipality, part of the Chaudière-Appalaches administrative region of Quebec, Canada.

The year 1829 marked the start of religious construction.

A chapel-presbytery was built according to the plans of architect Thomas Baillairgé and his mentor, Abbé Jérôme Demers, Vicar General.

François Audet dit Lapointe, then living in Saint-Charles, where he had just finished enlarging the church, was awarded the contract to build the chapel-presbytery, and then, in 1846, the present church, which was completed in 1850.

Around fifteen cooperative groups have been created since 1940: Quebec Central and Canadian National railway lines have been located here since 1875, but were replaced by the Bellechasse cycloroute in 2012.
