Saint-Élie-de-Caxton Church
Calvary mountain
Mountain of 226 m (at its summit) located northeast of the center of the village and with an illuminated cross at its summit. In 1886, a Stations of the Cross was built there. The first cross was erected at the top there in 1895. It is between Route 351 (to the northwest and to the south), Lac Plaisant (to the north) and Lac à la Vase (to the southeast). This ordeal is also a place of spirituality. In 2011, the Ministry of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women assigned the heritage character of the entire Calvary site, including the church, the presbytery, the cemetery and the Calvary mountain. In 2016, Calvaire Mountain was restored following a crowdfunding campaign.
