Yes, it must have been Duckburg.

If Duckburg is American (and most indications are in that direction), then
it's impossible that the Notre-Duck is an original medieval gothic church. I
always considered it a NEO-gothic church, from the 1890s (or early 1900s).
Like a big neogothic church I saw in Washington. Americans are good in
copying old styles.
Anyway, as someone noticed before, the Notre-Duck church has NO religious
marks whatsoever. It's just a big empty building with an organ and some
statues. It almost looks like a very rich American built it, just for fun.
About organs: I think Catholic churches don't have organs, and that they
were introduced in protestant churches after 1570. Is that true? (Just
curious.)
