Настоящее имя: Maison Provinciale Des Frères Maristes, Iberville, Québec
Headquarters of the Marist religious order for the province of Quebec, located at 751, chemin des Patriotes, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC (in the once independent town of Iberville). The building includes a massive organ with 4,637 pipes that has been used for classical music recordings ands concerts.
The organ was originally built for an Episcopalian church in New York city and bought by the Marist brothers in 1945 when the church was slated to be demolished; it was later augmented with pieces obtained from other large organs, and was completely rebuilt between 1965 and 1980. The chapel where the organ is located has since 2002 been turned over to the Marcellin-Champagnat High School, and has become the school's library.
