Saint-Herménégilde

Sector Coaticook

At the headwaters of Moe’s River, on scenic Route 141 and at the foot of the 864-metre Mount Hereford and the winding road that leads to its summit, Saint-Herménégilde boasts three lakes. Attracting Loyalist land-clearers, later French Canadians and now vacationers, Lakes Wallace, Lippé and Des Français bring recognition to the mission, established in 1856, with the parish created in 1872. Resulting from the division of a Township in 1903, the municipality draws its name from Prince Herménégilde, who Léovigild (the King of the Visgoths and Herménégilde's father) persecuted around the year 586 for his Catholic faith. The town’s 111-year-old neo-Gothic church is worth a visit.
