About Calvaire Range Front Lighthouse
Also known as: Calvaire Range Front (relocated to Deschaillons)
This square pyramidal wooden tower, standing 7 meters tall, was built and first lit in 1915. It is painted white with red trim and features a lantern and gallery. The focal height of its light is 54 meters, with a geographic range of 19.3 nautical miles. This structure served as the front range light on the south side of the St. Lawrence River, near Deschaillons-sur-Saint-Laurent. It became inactive in the 1980s but was the subject of a restoration vote by the Deschaillons municipal council in late 2013.
Why it matters: As part of a historic range system essential for guiding ships through a specific channel on the St. Lawrence River, its preservation highlights its value as a local landmark and a tangible piece of the region's maritime past.
