La Cathédrale Christ Church / Christ Church Cathedral

This downtown Montréal landmark is an excellent example of Gothic Revival style in Canada. Its detailed exterior of pointed arches, buttresses, and crenellated turrets conceals a sober but elegant interior. Built between 1857 and 1860 to a design by the distinguished architect Frank Wills, the cathedral reflects an Anglican ideal of its time: a return to the English medieval Church in both liturgy and architecture. It served an influential Anglican community in Montréal that was prominent during the 19th century in the economic and cultural development of Canada.
