Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours Chapel
400 St-Paul St E, (Near St-Denis), Montreal, QC, CanadaTel: 514 282 8670
Thanks to the "Our Lady of the Harbour" statue atop its dome, made famous by poet-songwriter Leonard Cohen, this chapel is known as "The Sailor's Church." Inside are original Edouard Meloche (1886) frescoes on wooden slats, and you can look out over the Old Port from an observation tower. The chapel underwent extensive renovations as well as archaeological excavation. The new interpretation centre includes artifacts pre-dating the arrival of the New France colonists in 1642. Admission to the chapel is free.

- Belvedere, archaeological site, guided tours of the adjacent museum every 30 minutes, beautiful Chapel.
- Cash only.
“This Chapel is the oldest Stone Chapel in Montreal. The present Chapel was built in 1771 but its founder rallies the French colonist to her project since 1655. It is a warm and stunning place. One of the things that caught by attention are the little boats hanging from the vault. I understood from the costumed guide's explanation that in the 19th century, with the expansion of the port of Montreal, the chapel became the sailors chosen place of prayer. The hanging miniature boats were offered to the Church by different sailors and recall their faith in Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours.”
