Carmel de Montréal, Carmelite convent in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Canada.

The Carmel de Montréal features a neo-Gothic chapel and several buildings arranged in a square courtyard enclosed by a stone wall at 351 Avenue du Carmel.

Six French Carmelite nuns established the convent in 1896 after William Edmond Blumhart donated land for its construction in the Mile End district.

The monastery contains a century-old garden with religious elements including a mount symbolizing Mount Carmel and a grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.

Visitors interested in Carmelite traditions can contact the convent at 514.271.6957 or information@carmelmontreal.org to learn about retreats and spiritual guidance programs.

The monastery accommodates up to twenty Carmelite nuns who maintain a lifestyle centered on silence, prayer, and contemplation while engaging in community outreach.
