Trappist Monastery Provincial Park, Provincial park with monastery ruins in St. Norbert, Winnipeg, Canada.

The remaining brick and stone structures of Our Lady of the Prairies monastery display Romanesque Revival architecture along the LaSalle River peninsula.

Five Cistercian monks from Bellefontaine Abbey in France established the monastery in 1892, constructing the church between 1903 and 1904.

The monastery complex included facilities for cheese making, baking, beekeeping, blacksmithing, and other self-sustaining activities until 1978.

Visitors can access the park by turning west from Pembina Highway, north of LaSalle River in St. Norbert, with interpretive signs along walking paths.

The renovated guesthouse from 1912 now functions as St. Norberts Arts Centre, while the ruins serve as a venue for theater performances.
