Tours
Guided tour of the Hospitallers' crypt and chapel
Did you know that Jeanne Mance’s tomb is located at the Hôtel-Dieu, under the Hospitallers’ old chapel? Accompanied by a Museum guide, enter in the Hospitallers’ crypt where 600 Hospitallers are buried. Explore this unique heritage site at the heart of the Cité des Hospitalières’ complex, only recently opened to the public. The visit includes the Museum’s sacred art collection and a stop at the Hôtel-Dieu chapel, built in 1861 by architect Victor Bourgeau.
Tours
Guided tour of the monastry
Enter for the first time in the Hospitallers’s old monastery, a private dwelling place for the Montreal congregation from 1861 to 2019. Located next to the Hôtel-Dieu, the monastery is part of the convent complex, which was constructed from 1859 to 1861 by architect Victor Bourgeau. Explore the different rooms, such as the “procure”, “l’avant-choeur”, and the “roberie”, to learn about their purpose and discover the Hospitallers’ daily life in the 19th century. Even though the monastery underwent many changes during the 20th century, it continues to bear witness to the Hospitallers’ history. Led by a Museum guide, the tour is enlivened with audio witnesses by the nuns.
