Église Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire de Montréal

Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire is a church with a Latin cross layout and hemicycle apse located on Villeray Street in Montreal. The building features projecting architectural elements and contains a four-keyboard Casavant organ with forty-five stops and 3,485 pipes.

Construction took place between 1928 and 1930 following designs by architects Joseph Dalbe Viau and Ludger Venne. The installation of five bells from the Paccard foundry in France occurred in 1946.

The interior decoration features sculptures by Bela Zoltvany and stained glass windows by Guido Nincheri and Vincenzo Poggi. These artworks shape the atmosphere inside and reflect the craftsmanship of Italian and Hungarian artists who worked together here.

The building is easily accessible via Villeray Street and the interior layout allows visitors to view the architecture and decorations at a relaxed pace. The organ is a central focal point and the acoustics within the nave are notable.

The five bells from the Paccard foundry in France give the building a distinctive sound that echoes across the neighborhood daily. This French craftsmanship connects the church to its European heritage in a way many visitors overlook.
