Montréal·History & Heritage

Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal

Montréal's mother church and a Neo-Gothic masterpiece, Notre-Dame Basilica impresses with its richly carved wood interior, stained-glass windows, and monumental Casavant organ.

Built between 1824 and 1829 according to plans by New York architect James O'Donnell (who would convert to Catholicism and be buried within the building), the basilica could originally accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers, making it one of the largest places of worship in North America at the time. Elevated to the status of minor basilica by Pope John Paul II in 1982 (who visited in person in 1984), it has hosted the funerals of many prominent Québécois figures, including those of Pierre Elliott Trudeau in 2000 and Brian Mulroney in 2024, as well as Céline Dion's wedding. The multimedia show AURA, presented in the evening, illuminates the basilica's architecture through immersive projection effects.
