Convent of the Redemptoristines, Gothic Revival convent in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Canada.
The Convent of the Redemptoristines is a three-story yellow-brick building of neo-Gothic inspiration, composed of three wings arranged in a U-shape on a hill above the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Its west wing was converted into rental apartments in 2018, with plans for the east wing and chapel.
The Redemptoristine nuns arrived in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in 1905 and completed the convent building by 1907. The structure was built as part of the growing religious infrastructure surrounding the basilica.
The convent served as a spiritual center for the community for over a century, with the religious sisters visible in daily life and devotions around the shrine. Their presence shaped the sacred character of this pilgrimage destination.
The building sits on elevated ground along Avenue Royale and is visible from the outside, though public tours are no longer available since it now contains private residences. The location offers good views of the basilica and surrounding shrine grounds.
The convent occupies a raised position that gives it command of views across the shrine and makes it a visual landmark within the religious complex. This elevated setting distinguishes it from other buildings in the sanctuary grounds.
