Gravelbourg Ecclesiastical Buildings

These imposing buildings are vital symbols of French Canadian colonization efforts undertaken by the Roman Catholic Church in Western Canada in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Consisting of the cathedral, Bishop’s residence, and the former convent school, the site is also associated with one of the Church’s most important missionary-colonizers, Father Louis-Pierre Gravel. Architect Joseph-Ernest Fortin designed this ensemble, which is outstanding in scale and architectural refinent.

Établissements religieux de Gravelbourg

Ces imposants édifices témoignent avec éloquence des efforts de colonisation canadienne-française déployés par l’Église catholique dans l’Ouest à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe. La cathédrale, l’évêché et l’ancien couvent sont étroitement associés à l’abbé Louis-Pierre Gravel, un des plus importants missionaires colonisateurs. L’architecte Joseph-Ernest Fortin conçut cet ensemble impressionnant pour son échelle et le raffinement de son architecture.
