Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge

Just over 10 kilometres from Cowansville, you’ll discover Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge (or simply Saint-Ignace), a small community of about 700 residents dating back to around 1810.

In the heart of Saint-Ignace, the hamlet of Mystic takes centre stage. It’s impossible to resist the charm of the famous Walbridge Barn, the only dodecagonal (12-sided) barn in Québec. It houses the Missisquoi History Museum and attests to the ingenuity of Alexander Solomon Walbridge, an inventor and visionary entrepreneur who left his mark on the region in the 19th century.

Whether travelling by car or on a bicycle, Saint-Ignace is an ideal stopover for exploring a page of the region’s history. To extend your visit, there are several accommodation options in the surrounding area where you can fully enjoy the tranquility of the area while you discover some amazing local points of interest.
