Temples & religious sites
Chapel of Our Lady of Help, Montreal
About the Chapel
Built in 1771 on the site of an earlier chapel, this historic church is one of the oldest in Montreal. Located in Old Town, it draws visitors interested in 18th-century architecture and Montreal's early colonial history.
Getting There
The site is situated in Old Montreal, roughly a 15- to 20-minute walk from downtown. Visitors travelling by public transit can take the metro to Champ-de-Mars station on the Orange Line, followed by a 10-minute walk south toward the riverfront.
Time to Allow
Plan to spend between 30 and 45 minutes to view the interior, examine the historical exhibits, and see the building's stonework.
When to Visit
Weekday mornings provide the quietest experience. The surrounding historic district tends to become crowded during summer afternoons and on warm weekends when foot traffic in Old Montreal peaks.
