Ste. Anne du Ruisseau, Nova Scotia

Ste-Anne-du-Ruisseau is a community in Municipalité Argyle Municipality in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.

The village was settled in 1767 by Acadians who escaped deportation and those who returned to Nova Scotia from exile.

The original settlement was in an area now called Pointe-à-Rocco, where the initial settlers built a chapel and a few homes.

Sainte-Anne du Ruisseau became the first Catholic parish in Yarmouth County, founded in 1799 by Father Jean Mandé Sigogne.

[5] Striking in appearance, it was built in Romanesque style and features two towers and original paintings on the ceiling and sanctuary walls.
