Évêques-de-Trois-Rivières Mausoleum, Religious mausoleum in Trois-Rivières, Canada

The mausoleum features ten tombs and a chapel with a distinctive semi-cone shape made entirely of reinforced concrete within Saint-Michel cemetery.

The structure, completed in 1966, replaced the original cathedral crypt, requiring the careful relocation of 45 bodies including four bishops.

Five deceased bishops of the Diocese of Trois-Rivières, established in 1852, rest in this mausoleum, marking its role in regional ecclesiastical history.

The chapel section accommodates 60 people for ceremonies and includes a small sacristy for religious preparations and services.

Architects Jean-Claude Leclerc and Roger Villemure designed the structure where the chapel represents soul ascension while the mausoleum part symbolizes earthly rest.
