Guided tours
Enter for the first time in the Hospitallers’s old monastery, a private dwelling place for the Montreal congregation from 1861 to 2019. Located next to the Hôtel-Dieu, the monastery is part of the convent complex, which was constructed from 1859 to 1861 by architect Victor Bourgeau. Explore the different rooms, such as the “procure”, “l’avant-choeur”, and the “roberie”, to learn about their purpose and discover the Hospitallers’ daily life in the 19th century. Even though the monastery underwent many changes during the 20th century, it continues to bear witness to the Hospitallers’ history. Led by a Museum guide, the tour is enlivened with audio witnesses by the nuns.Practical information
