Grey Nuns Motherhouse
Grey Nuns Motherhouse, National historic convent in Ville-Marie, Canada.
The Grey Nuns Motherhouse features an H-shaped structure extending four stories high with a central chapel displaying neoclassical and Romanesque architectural elements.
Construction of this religious complex began in 1869 under architect Victor Bourgeau's direction and continued for thirty years, becoming a central institution for the Sisters of Charity.
The building's chapel contains French stained glass windows from 1878, three white marble altars, and multiple rose windows that represent Montreal's religious artistic heritage.
Located at 1190 Guy Street near Guy-Concordia subway station, the building now functions as student housing for 598 Concordia University undergraduates with study rooms and facilities.
The basement crypt contains 276 burial sites, including the original resting place of Mother Marie-Marguerite d'Youville, the first Canadian-born individual declared a saint.
