Trappist Monastery Provincial Park
Winnipeg, Canada
Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park is a small heritage park in the St. Norbert area of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It preserves the ruins of the Trappist monastery known as Our Lady of the Prairies (Notre-Dame des Prairies), established in 1892 and constructed in its principal surviving form in the early twentieth century on a peninsula of the La Salle River. The site forms part of a publicly accessible cultural and heritage landscape within a historically French-speaking, bilingual community of south Winnipeg. The park is best known for the roofless brick-and-stone shell of a Romanesque Revival church and an attached monastic wing, damaged by fire after the Trappist community relocated from the site in 1978.
