Montréal’s Religious Heritage: Around Plateau Mont-Royal, a digital chapter taken from the guide Discovering Montréal’s Religious Heritage, is your invitation to discover all the diversity and beauty of the religious heritage of Montréal and its environs. In full colour and lavishly illustrated with magnificent photos, this one-of-a-kind guidebook reveals the secrets of an exceptionally rich heritage unequalled anywhere else in North America.
On this tour, you will explore the storied neighbourhoods of Plateau Mont-Royal, Outremont and Mile End, finishing in Rosemont. Here you’ll discover a variety of places of worship, rich in religious heritage, artistic value and architectural style: from Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque revival styles to Italian Renaissance, Second Empire, and modern architecture. You’ll explore the histories of the Catholic, Lutheran and Jewish communities of the area. You’ll also come across religious buildings converted to accommodate new purposes, such as a former church transformed into a municipal library and another that has become a residential building. A museum at the foot of Mount Royal will reveal the beginnings of Montréal’s healthcare system through displays of the work by the Sœurs Hospitalières, the nursing sisters of St. Joseph.
Conceived for pilgrims whose journeys are prompted by their faith as well as those drawn by art, architecture, and history, Montréal’s Religious Heritage: Around Plateau Mont-Royal shines a light on Montréal’s rich religious heritage, both ancient and modern. It also spotlights successfully converted religious buildings that have been given a new lease on life.
