Holy Rosary Cathedral

646 Richards Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Tel: 604 682 6774 • Web: Visit this site »
 

With its asymmetrical towers, downtown's Holy Rosary Cathedral is a perfect example of Gothic Revival architecture. The pointed window and doorway arches, vaulted ceiling, exterior sandstone carving and tracery stained glass windows all reflect the Gothic character. Also notable is the full ring of the bells. All eight hang in the 66-metre east tower. This was the first church in Canada to ring a peal of Grandshire Triples to honour Dominion Day (now called Canada Day) in 1911. It lasted two hours and 59 minutes! Admission is free, though donations are accepted.
