Reviews of Sanctuaire Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré (Doctor)

Philip Fillion

Absolutely stunning. Very easy to spend a whole day taking in the richly-decorated church, the chapels in the apse devoted to various saints, and the crypt with its murals of many more.

Ric Rini

This visit is so worth the 25/30 minutes drive from Quebec City and I'd consider it a must see . The church and surrounding grounds are extremely stunning, it's quite breathtaking. The church has many hidden areas so make sure you take your time visiting every nook and cove. If say you're total visit could easily take 1 to 2.5 hours. Make sure you cross the street and walk the stations of the Cross as well as the two churches/shrines.

Leo De Leon

Spectacular and spiritual place. Just beautiful and spacious. Easy to find and attentive representatives.

朱屹峰

a must come place near Quebec city

Achraf Boules

A church you cannot miss last time we walked in the bells were ringing and a mass was starting we enjoyed the mass and felt the peace

Andres Robayo

Majestic church, a great stop along the way. Free parking and entrance

Rodrigo Letelier

It's a beautiful place, to visit, to go and make up your mind, to think, to connect with your inner peace, even if you're not a believer.

Cristien Lyons

Breathtaking architecture, out of the way but definitely worth the visit

Frederic Eid

Very beautiful and majestic cathedral.

Shéraz K

Beautiful, stunning. No words to describe this place. Must visit of Quebec

DarkLord Asylum

Incredible architecture beautiful experience.

dinalyn tabaranza

Went there last fall and the most beautiful place you ever seen..

Gabriel Cavalheiro

beautiful and grandiose church with a very particular style. it's a nice choice if you are in the quebec city region, because you can get there in 20 minutes. but of course, it is an attraction that will please more religious people.

Hayden Chen

Breath-taking and magnificent. Highly recommend to visit inside.

Serge V Louise

This is a very historical place. It is grand in it's size and architecture. There is much to see and photograph. You can see the crutches andcanes of those who have been saved, or cured. Most of all it is free.

Richard Thornton

Amazing cathedral with multiple shrines to various Saints. Definitely worth the visit.

Ogheneworo Akara

Beautiful edifice! I loved my visit to this location. Lots of history

Jibin Poulose

Excellent place for worship. Nice architecture works.

Nadia S.

Gorgeous church which gives you an impression that you are in France, Germany or Austria with their magnificent gothic cathedrals. Must see

Rochelle Viegas

Absolutely stunning architecture. Short drive from Montmorency Falls.

Hunter Fulks

Very historic and has great history and a beautiful legend/story to it. Beautiful architecture.

Greg Nonato

A beautiful church! We took a free tour while we were there, and we found it very informative. We would recommend the tour since there is so much symbolism all over the church that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. The tour is about an hour long, and we must have spent about 1.5-2 hours there in total.

Leila Joshua

Beautifully picturesque, but time your visit right. If there is a service going on, you cannot take photos inside.

Dennis Richards

A MUST SEE location. Took our grandchildren two years ago and going back next month

Paige Wood

Wow. You need to see inside the church and explore. Very beautiful

Elise Moore

Well this is unexpected. Massive church in the middle of nowhere. Be sure to go downstairs where the ceiling is brightly decorated and little birds etc are painted at intervals. Very sweet and almost whimsical side downstairs compared to massive sanctuary space.

jianjun0

Very impressive, so many chapels within the church, worth the visit. hard to find restrooms thought.

Gareth Ronald-Jones

A beautiful church on the outskirts of Quebec City.

Josh Doil

If you are visiting, be sure to see the downstairs chapel. Most people only see the main level, which while beautiful, is not the full experience.

Moses Fridlich

Beautiful basilica with great high ceilings and many different sanctuaries and chappells.

Jennifer Croft

Such a beautiful church to visit and learn about it’s history. There are so many intricate details and stories to learn so make sure you take your time when you visit.

Minh-Dien Le

Beautiful place to visit and pray. Summer 2020 will be a memorable season for all of us because of pandemic, stay healthy and be safe.

Daniel Call

This is a stunning building, rising up in the middle of virtually nowhere. My family and I just wandered the grounds and the building without a tour. It's next to some very walkable streets as well.

Divya Binu

The Basilica is open everyday and is famous for its miracle to cure many sick and disable people.

Brian Smith

IMPRESSIVE SITE, similar to European basilicas. As a kid, I recall hundreds of crutches and assistive devices lining the foyer pillars, supposedly a testament to the power within. Most of those crutches are now gone. Beyond the building, Definitely, check out the hillside Stations of the Cross for a quiet, reflective, religious respite.

Linda Bouchard

Amazing cathedral. Beautiful mosaics. Awesome architecture.

Nancy Liu

Very impressive architectural design and details.

Mario Villamor

Huge Cathedral. Amazing architecture inside and out

David Demers

Alexandr Tarcinski

Visit is a must. Spiritual and healing place. Rare to find.

Arturo Rivero

Beautiful basilica visited by John Paul II. On the lower level there is a replica of the Pietá by Michelangelo.

c m

Absolutely lovely

Stephen G. Burley

Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking we hadn't planned on going there but are certainly glad we did very beautiful part of Quebec history a machine for anybody traveling here. A few sneak preview pics to entice those who love history. For us Christian's no enticement required! ????????

Tasneem A

Stunningly beautiful. You experience the sheer presence of the Basilica from the street when you drive up to it. There are no large buildings nearby so, the Basilica can be clearly seen from a distance. Once stepping inside you experience a quiet sense of peace. The decor is stunning and colourful. Everything from the stained-glass windows to the huge columns draw the eye.

Shawn Hosp

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. The detail in the doors and the stained glass is amazing to see and photos just don't do them justice. Well worth the trip to see first hand.

Chuck P

Many many years ago In my 20’s I visited this church very sick I asked I prayed to be better now … I am 50 years old and in great health miracles can happen here it had for me !!!!!

francisco salazar

You have to visit this beautiful cathedral

Stefan P

Nice church. Big. Not much to say about it...its a church. Free parking. Take the time to explore the surrounding town, its pretty cute.

Stuart Bowland

Beautiful architecture. Free to tour. Very nice ceiling.

SoulDame

Amazing place of worship, check out the sculptures on the hill

francois iskenderian

If you come to Quebec city you should visit this place .

Oana Sirb

Stunning pilgrimage spot if you are catholic or not. Great for mediation and reflection, a never ending maze of underground chapels.

Arina White

Gorgeous! Inside and out! Worth it to drive there 100%

Sophia Young

This is one of the most stunning churches in Quebec hands down. This church has many different section from the one main church to a mini chapel on the side. It had a strong Versailles feel in the garden area and it was very grand. After seeing this church it was hard not to compare them to this stunner beauty!

Thibaut Cuvelier

Peaceful place, albeit filled with tourists. For visitors, the interiors are worth a detour. (The only problem is that photos are forbidden, and that guards enforce it by shouting quite loud, which cannot suit a basilica.)

Nicholas Petrillo

Well worth the drive. Massive church and beautiful. Mass offered regularly. Despite the size, it was very warm and inviting. I didn't feel lost in its space. The art work is beautiful and tells the story of Mary's parents. Parking was easy, and there are multiple sites to visit.

Hussain Hadi

Beautiful old church. Very picturesque.

John Lee

The basilica is enormous and spectacular.

Andrea Downes

Beautiful! Mouth agape at the work that went into the art and construction.

Cathy Piesina

A must see when heading to Saint Anne de Beaupre ???? It is so beautiful ????

Alexander Daunan

This church is awesome. Very beautiful and big. The architecture is detailed and artsy. The ceiling is full of paintings. Even the chapel is big and artsy.

Shagana Viveack

Gorgeous architecture and very peaceful and welcoming church for all tourists. Make sure to stop by the souviner store

Emma London

An architectural beauty of healing and peace

Sandra DeGuire

Beautiful place. Wondrous stained glass, paintings, and sculptures

Darren Dawe

Just did a quick stop in for some photos. Beautiful church. It would be nicer if they paid taxes. I am not a religious man so it is weird to see a building bring happiness and hope to people but I guess it is a to each their own situation.

Sylvain Léger

Very impressive basilica in a relatively low population area.

Nicole Peel

Interesting place . Very large church with many artworks to view. Worth a visit even if you are not religious.

Students Love Travel

This basilica - basically on a railroad track in the middle of nowhere, about 35 minutes north of Quebec - qualified as a "must see" for us as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, it's a spectacular building. Usually (at least in our experience) a basilica like this would be at the heart of a major city like Paris, London or Dublin so it's unique to see it off in the distance towering over the little houses scattered around it, looming ever larger as you approach along the highway. Inside is no less spectacular and we were amazed to find an enormous chapel on the lower floor (underneath the basilica). For our first visit we went with the self-guided pamphlet, and it was pretty good. But we found ourselves eavesdropping on a guided tour, and it was way better - the guide pointed out many fascinating things that we either didn't notice, comprehend, or appreciate. Try to visit outside mass times so that you can get a guide (silence during mass is important), all the better if the guide is a sister. If you can't get a guide then go with the pamphlet, it will really help you appreciate the place. But go, for sure, it's great.

Dorothy Land

A must see church in St. ANNE. a few minutes by car and voila... Instant peace and beauty. …

Sean Allen

Free to visit. Lots of historical information. The craftsmanship detail is amazing. Worth stopping in.

Allie G

Beautiful area. The Basilica is spectacular.

Leaked

Looks nice inside but its disgusting how much this city has exploited this place to make the most money possible.

Ricardo Cantor

It's one of the most important buildings around Quebec. The pros: no so much travelers making the visit impossible, free parking, free access, the park around also is big and beautiful and there are free public restrooms.

Brad MacDonald

Beautiful architecture!! A must see if you like churches.

Gina Lariccia

Nice church to visit! Lit a candle for my family.

Chery Villegas (CNVMovilla)

This place is magnificent! From building exterior - down to the basement. This Catholic Sanctuary is well preserved and is visited by pilgrims from different countries around the world. Directions inside the church will guide you well if you are travelling by yourself. It also has a souvenir shop and is very close to food establishments whenever food is needed.

Setiawan Hartanto

The beautiful catholic church in Quebec. The first list to visit when you in Quebec

Raúl

Beautiful church! Recommended.

Elisa Abarca

Really nice Basilica, saw groups from Italy to Mexico visiting for an evening procession with candles around the building, whether you're Catholic or not, it's very nice to see. More accessible bathrooms would be nice, my mother had to walk far for the washrooms.

Pierre Caron

Very peaceful for all! This place is truly sacred and stunning. The architecture and art are fascinating and tell of the devotion of those who built this magnificent House of God. Masses in English too. Be sure to check their schedules. I love this basilica and want to return ASAP! Un excellent lieu de prière. L'architecture et les chefs d'oevres d'art sont fascinants. Simplement, on y retrouve la paix.

Gmae Perez

Beautiful place to stay at autumn. I would recommend it for others to visit the place

Robert Torres

Beautiful, impressive Catholic basilica. Large plaza, accommodates many pilgrims.

Jacques Caron

Beautiful place to pray and get of the busy life we live. Very peaceful and the way of the cross on the side of the hill is very moving. Gift shop has everything you can ask for

Brian Gonsalves

Tops off a wonderful visit to Quebec. Majestic and emotional.

Ewen Lewis

There are a multitude of churches in Quebec, most of them Catholic. However, the one that I would recommend the highest is this one. The architecture is incredible with so many exquisite details in every part of the building. If you're so inclined, you can spend hours viewing the intricate mosaic work, the beautiful statues and appreciating the history behind the establishment of such an immense accomplishment of human skill and workmanship. Definitely put Saint-Anne-de-Beaupre on your list of places to see whilst in Quebec!

Angel Salomé

A place very quiet, not too much people to enjoy the architecture.

Shree Harlalka

We come here every year as it is one of the most tranquil and serene churches I have been to.

Adele Sham

A really nice and peaceful church!! The design and the art are just AMAZING.

Robert Fehr

Very nice and easy to find the perfect place for you and your family and friends to do things.

Lawrence Miglialo

The church is an architectural beauty. The stone carvings and paintings are vivid and one can spend hours staring at every nook. Attributed to the mother of Virgin Mary, Saint Anne (Jesus' Gma). Apparently A relic of her forearm exists inside the basilica. There are some particularly concerning paintings of indigenous people.

Juan Paz-Viera

The most beautiful church in all Quebec. 30 min north of Quebec city. Surrounded by a natural beautiful environment. A gorgeous front fountain/ sculpture as well as a boutique for all religious theme objects. Must visit for every tour north of Quebec.

Wow amazing place to visit

Kai Kang

Patricia Mendoza

We went in the evening hours. It was closed. It is a monumental compound of building worth to visit even to take pictures on the outside. I wonder how beautiful it should be in the inside (?) Looks very "historic".

Quebec is an old city where they have a good sceneries during Fall time

Beautiful cathedral with a cute little street to walk around as well as a gorgeous fountain. Free to enter and look around.

Albert Riezebos

Wonderful experience, I have ancestry from here. I mostly walked the grounds and didn't have a chance to go inside. Very nicely laid out and peaceful. Many of my ancestors lived here so it was great to walk where they lived and worshipped. There's a plaque on a pole where the original church was located. Easy to get to from Quebec City. Worth the trip!

Michael Jursic

It is beautiful! Mass was going on so we weren't able to tour the place but the walk around the area is beautiful.

Joyce Chapman

I went with a group of adults and children, very beautiful, nice grounds. Worth the visit, went with the bus tour it was just the right amount of time to spend there (45 mins). Nice gift shop. Bus tour guide Francois was very knowledgeable.

Great looking Church , History that goes with it, I would like to say more, You'll have to go here to see it for your self Joe

Frank A

The shrine is a monumental piece of architecture and design. The inside is breathtaking. Very serene. The alter is very beautiful with ornaments. It was in the month of May and we met a few people. It is a healing shrine so most of us were praying for healing. Was told that the shrine gets very busy in June and July when 100s of thousands of pilgrims come from all over the world. Be prepared to spend about an hour or more when you visit. They have restrooms and restaurants are close by.

Brian OConnor

Beautiful both inside &outside Went. to Mass there and felt a true sense of the Lord.

Bill Baumgartner

I remember as a child visiting with my family with a beautiful church that I will never forget. Circa late 1950's.

Amazing Cathedral. Closest experience to Vatican in Canada.

Veronika Bogovik

Amazing place with gorgeous architecture

It was most unique and peaceful basilica that I visited. I was touched by looking at all the crutches hanging on the wall with real people’s pictures. Don’t miss out little slop with Jesus last 14 scenes if you’re Christian.

Willy Montes

Very beautiful construction. Due to capacity limits I couldn't go inside but you can appreciate its architecture from outside.

Luis Fonseca

Royale street goes along the mountain following the Beaupré Coast. View from lookouts amazing. Pay attention to multiple speed radars on 138.

Gabe Pencea

One of the best church I ever seen!

Cry

It is a beautiful place, i love it, we had a great time here. The Sanctuary is amazing.

Kevin Demers

WONDERFUL Cathedral, modern by Church standards but constructed in a Romanesque Architecture style giving it that old European feel. The church is bright and the chapel in the lower level is brightly lit with a colorful array of lights. The gardens in the front with the water fountain break the traditional sterile plaza atmosphere so common in larger cathedrals. Be sure to stop by the Blessing house to receive your own blessings.

Patrick Morgan (EST - Montreal)

Beautiful place. Personally im not religious. But the work put into this building is amazing.

Farzin Shemirani

If you plan to visit Quebec city, do not miss this place.

Hugo Romano Plancarte

Magnificent !!! , I RECOMMEND to see the copper museum ! It’s not that far ( Albert Gilles Boutique et museé in google maps) They made the doors of the church !!

Brett Vermette

A very impressive basilica with much historical significance. Reverent and scared with grand architecture.

Nirbhay Kumar

Peaceful, magical. Went there during Xmas period so even more beautiful.

Hayley Doyle

My absolute favorite place however the area has been hit by hard times. Lots of closures and for sale signs. On the flip side the places still in business were all really good. Sad to see the cyclorama has closed. Been in business since 1875

Sorin Cristian Moldovan

Amazing.

Mikal Tuyen

Wow! Such wonderful architectural style yet is spiritual with a sense of calmness when entering the building. The details craftsmanship architectural of the building is a truly a work of art. We had a very nice time and enjoyed our visit there and would definitely go back to see this place again.

AshAragam2000

Beautiful modern Basillica!! Blend of old and new in its construction.

Leo Wong

Beautiful church, inside and outside!

Sonia Crawshaw

Beautiful, inside and out (but especially inside). Don't miss the downstairs! The mosaic, paintings, singing, spirit filled sanctuary, history of healing and history of her construction beats many of the churches in Europe. This, all rebuilt after a fire in 1922! A must experience♡

Kim Parker

Unbelievable architecture. Felt very European. Going inside later this week...

Karine Rocheleau

Piece of history. Don't forget to go to the basement of the shrine and behind the alter. They even have a human size path with statues on the hill behind the church. You need an hour to see it all. So many details. People come from all around the world to see Sainte Anne. They say she can heal your sicknes and they will be cratches to prouve it inside.... Need to be confirmed...

MacKenzie Knicely-Coutts

Beautiful place that everyone visiting Quebec City should see.

Vamini R

If you're in the area, it will be worth it to visit this church. Very calm and serene. The surrounding area is really nice to just sit and enjoy.

Abila Ganesalingam

Beautiful inside and outside. Going through some renovation.

Arthur MacNew (Art)

Such a beautiful church and a wonderful congregation. Very welcoming and accommodating locals, considering the amount of disrespectful tourists that can come through. We truly appreciated our visit.

Thomas Fischer

Worth the visit.Here is a view from the hillside.

Jabason Stanley

Nice place to visit to see the architecture and the design of the well built basilica

vadlamani subhash

Architecture like no other. Reminds me of traditional France.

Hi de

Absolutely stunning architect and art. I have never been in a church within a church. Very unique that you can have a full Mass in the church downstairs at the same time as the church upstairs. The free tour and the information about Saint Anne was very interesting.

Andrew Hannaford

Beautiful church to visit.

Diana Lavoie

Every visit is very special as you see and learn new things. Breathtaking

Timothy Wang

The art is amazing and it is truly a place to be if you are visiting Quebec

Eduardo Aldair

The Basilica is a shrine dedicated to Saint Anne. Even if we know very little about the life of Saint Anne, the entire ceiling mosaic of the Basilica describes the life of Saint Anne. It tells the story of her life, the life of a Jewish woman in that era. It speaks of her virtues and glorification.

Olivier Labrie

Very beautiful, huge Chappelle any catholic should visit.

Dave Nicholson

Amazing!!! Beautiful!! Totally worth the visit

Omar Diaz

Wow!! Beautiful and awesome!!

Daniel Mullin

Almost didn't go to this. So glad we did, BEAUTIFUL. Can't do justice with words.

Leonor Acosta

It was a great spiritual pilgrimage, stunning architecture and art, which lifts the soul to Heaven.

Tanya Belleau

Beautiful basilica. Such a peaceful and holy place to reflect. There is also the Jerusalem Cyclorama nearby and cute little chapels. Lovely place - an Art Gallery, ice cream shop and a couple of souvenirs shops in the square (bought a great pair of First Nations handmade moccasins there and great wood sculptures - great quality and prices !!) You can also bike / drive on Avenue Royale all the way to Montmorency Falls (Chutes Montmorency) - a scenic route where you drive through charming little towns : historical houses and great places selling antiques, fresh produce and produits du terroir québécois (cheese, maple syrup, butter spread, sucre à la crème, apple jam, etc.)

jose jonathan ramirez valdovinos

the most beautiful Sanctuary that I had ever seen. I really recommended to visit. you can found peace in this place.

My ancestors donated the land that the church stands on. They were the Beaupre's. I believe that they still have farm land near the church

Joe Vokey

Beautiful place. Been coming for decades. Getting sooo much busier nowadays.

LaWanda Harnishfeger

Beautiful location. Take time to do the Walk of Christ

Dawa Lama

Beautiful church so serene & peaceful. Enjoyed the short talk show given by a guide. Just kneeling & praying for your near and dear ones gives you a peace of mind. Looking at the intricate drawings and just thanking the artists quietly lifted my spirits.

Shengbo Yu

Nice church with beautiful view in fall

Sheryl Rempe

Very beautiful church just wish we could of had more time on the tour to look and enjoy the beauty of it.

Michael Nabs

My girl n I. Took some Souvenirs home, for our Lovely Familys

Jeroo Norman

A beautiful place to visit. The full structure is high but there are lifts and ramps all over. The view of the city is breathtaking. A must visit

Monica Hattie

Grew up with my grandmother going on an annual pilgrimage to this place. I didn't go in, but the outside was still awe worthy.

Jill Chen

Beautifully rebuilt with impressive mosaic titles and painting. The lower level has very different feel and with a chapel that shows relic of saint Anne

Norbert Aschenbrenner

Impressive. You would not expect to see such a majestic building in a small town. There is not much around. The church itself is worth a stop. You will need about one hour. I also recommend to drive up the hill and have a look from above at the church and the river. Good spot for pictures.

Andre Valcourt

Completly beautiful Church. Worth seeing.

Absolutely beautiful... Well worth the trip.

Teresa DeRubeis

Magnificent homage to Saint Ann. Beautiful church with many quiet areas to pray or contemplate life. Truly happy I visited.

Landon Thomas

A Beautiful Basilica! If you are able to visit this place, you should. Spend about an hour walking around the inside of the church and then explore around the outside.

Isa

Beautiful! If you like architecture, it is a good one to visit

John Dima

A beautiful church with extraordinary views

Sam

Wow just amazing. Reminds me of Notre Dame in Paris

Anton Pachkine

Huge basilica but something is missing. Also, after reading the brochures we thought it's 1670s but in reality the large building was built in 1980s and seems like some parts were rushed to complete.

Kat Lok

Amazing architecture and beautiful garden

Ivan Ceballos

One of the most beautiful churches in all Canada. Outside and inside this place is amazing. It's huge.

Shivam Sharma

Amazing Church!

Lotus On The Hill

Without doubt the most beautiful Catholic catherdral I've ever seen in Quebec. A must see if you are anywhere nearby. Even a half hour visit would be worth it. Seeing it in mid February meant virtually no crowds. Make sure you also see the basement chapels.

Maynarda Black

Im not remotely religious, but it was one of the most gorgeous structures I've ever seen

ritu handa

Wow what a beautiful church. I am not a Christian but I can definitely feel the spiritual power of this place. Very calm, positive and beautiful vibes with spectacular views. It is a must visit place.

Richard Cunningham

Truly a beautiful space. If you're driving up this way, make sure to stop by. Make sure to look up at the elaborate ceilings

Reaz Ahmed

Late check in was easy, clean rooms and seems like enough entertainment for children. Location is great.

Veronica John

Beautiful basilica dedicated to St.Anne! Must visit if you’re visiting quebec city. Especially loved the Exact roman copy of the Pieta sculpture!

Naldo Garcia

Beautiful Church. Details inside are very nice. Parking around the church is free.

Frances Johnson

A must see... My friends and I were blessed by a priest while we were there... I've had several miracles happen since and seen miracles happen in others. Blessings to all. ???? The church is breathtakingly beautiful.

HS Outdoors Adventure (Aan)

The first list to visit when you come to Quebec City. Beautiful church

Cynthia Manzanares

A solemn place to pray and take solace from the hustles of street life.

Jane Ward

Beautiful Church with a wonderous interior. Amazing detail and craftsmanship in the stonework and mosaic tile. A place of grandeur solitude and peace.

Steffen Hood

Beautiful old church. Awe inspiring architecture and a Holy and sacred place. The first time I've ever been and would have liked to have had more time to study it.

Orlando Navarro

A must visit church with incredible architecture, beautiful frescoes and history. Very well worth the trip and the self-guided tour even if you are not catholic. Catch services here if you can. There is train nearby and plenty of local souvenir stores around the church plaza with very friendly employees. Getting there and parking was very easy.

Walter Santelli

A stunningly beautiful and impeccably maintained basilica. Plenty of religious artifacts, sculptures and historical treasures. A must-see when in the area!

A 350 year old historic church located just about 40 km outside Quebec city, is a place to visit. Amazing architecture!????

Angye Levy

Such a lovely church

Daisylyn Donaire

Amazing, beautiful picturesque

A beautiful church in Quebec. Popular with Filipino-Canadian pilgrims.

Rémi Wauthy

Absolutely stunning. Went for the evening bilingual program. Would recommend spending a full day.

Alain Ayache

Marvelous as usual with a new Lebanese Saint (Saint Charbel) Statute. A worldwide known Saint for his miracle around the world touching all faiths.

W. P.

Beautiful, you can feel the prayers soaked into this church. Stunning architecture, tile work, etc.

Norbert Anthony

We were planing to visit as tourists for half and hour and ended up staying for the whole day. This is a special place and spoke to us in ways that were very personal and hard to describe. The church is beautiful and is a pilgrimage site for Catholics. We will certainly go again.

Discovering Destinations

Where: Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré What: A sanctuary How was it: This place was screaming for us to visit. You can't miss it as it's right off the highway. It's a nice place to stop, stretch your legs and take some pictures. Grade: Eli = 4, Serge = 4 Recommend : Yeah, worth making a stop.

Joel Delizo

Just the exterior of the Sanctuary is impressive. It reminded me so much of the cathedrals in Europe, but this one is right in our own "backyard". The interior is even more impressive. It is clean and well-kept. Take note that from the outside, you cannot tell that the windows are colored. It is only from being inside can you see the colors they hold.

Francois Parent

Basilica dedicated to Mary's mother, St. Ann. Worth a visit if you're into churches. Doesn't compare to European cathedrals, but it's nonetheless impressive.

Danny Foley

Wonderful cathedral. Easy to get to. The parking, or where we parked, was on the street (parallel parking) and there was no charge. There is an under chapel with additional things to see.

Elisa O

As always wonderful! A shame that a lot of things are close due to restrictions.

Mignion Faretta

Truly an awe inspired life moment. The mountainous backdrop was bond picturesque and the hospitality of the townspeople was just as breathtaking.

rubliwton

Beautiful, awe and wonder inspiring church. Mass was wonderful. We got there to late to see too much. Recommend giving yourself a couple of hours.

Fredy Achuri

This place was amazing, so many things to see here, peaceful and a lot history ????

lee koebel

One of the most beautiful places I've ever been, loved it

Tomasz Kolodziej

I wish I could give 10 stars. Amazing

Shanna O'Brien

I am not religious - but I am a Christian, however being in this stunning Shrine gave me a new uplifting perspective to being a Christian. You cannot describe to someone how beautiful and spiritual it is.

John Lopez

This is my absolute FAVORITE Cathedral in the world! I've visited many cathedrals worldwide and I can honestly say none have captured me the way this one has. It sits in a somewhat remote area north of Quebec City. We came here on a half a day tour we booked from Quebec City center that also included a stop at Montmorency Falls. I feel like we didn't have enough time to really "take it all in". The architecture, the elegance, the beauty, the energy overall of this majestic Cathedral is an absolute must when visiting Quebec City. We came in the winter and although it was the coldest I've ever felt in my life, somehow it made the experience all the more magical. I want to go back again.

Angela Salera

Absolutely magnificent church of beautiful architecture and religious artwork!

Andee

One of the most beautiful churches I've been to. I went here nearly 15 years ago and still remember its reverence and beauty.

Tony Nguyen

It's a place that we never omitted to visit whenever we come to Quebec city. It is a beautiful touristic destination not to miss about 30 minutes from downtown Quebec city. Always welcoming, calm, clean, warm and grandiose from the outside to the insude with its majestic walls and ceiling. If you have a wish/prayer to ask, this place is a MUST for you. Lots of parking space. Easy access. Strongly recommended to all toutists who come to visit Quebec city to put this place on their schedule to visit.

Don Disterheft

Great place to visit. Beautiful church and moving service. They do a great job

John Mendoza

A very beautiful place to visit and pray

Micheal Dier

Great...Great...great

Doug M

Great location. Church is well taken care of.

Thomas Papiest

Worth your time ,if you like churches.

Jean-Philippe Roch

Beautiful place. Would have been nice to have a been more descriptions of the site

Catherine Me

Beautiful shrine with exquisite details everywhere you look. So much to see you could spend all day there in awe of the grandeur and majesty of this Catholic masterpiece

sandra coelho

Beautiful church inside and out. Always go to the church when visiting Quebec. It is so peaceful. You can buy holy pics oil rosary and much more and even get a blessing from the priest. Anyone can visit the church and it is free. If you want to donate money you can as there is a machine for debit/credit.

Georges Younes

On my past trips to Quebec City, I had never taken the time to visit Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, a half-hour drive from the center. At the insistence of friends, I made the effort then I wondered why I had waited this long. This is probably one of the very few 20th century shrines that is worth the detour. This visit was not a religious pilgrimage. My interests in visiting were purely touristic. I was far from being disappointed. Quite the contrary!

Michael Nguyen

The most Beautiful church with many religious activities in Quebec. Entry free. Religious spot for travelers and local people visiting and praying.

Wachester Huang

Verr worth visiting when you want to see beautiful foliage with the church.

Jerry Luoma

Beautiful Basilica with plenty of parking. Very serene. A modest drive out from Quebec City but worth the effort.

Victorien Boni

A great place to pray and visit near Quebec city(around 30 km)

Kelly Swaine

Incredibly inspiring and breathe taking . This church is so beautiful and intricately adorned and decorated. We happen to visit during a Mass so we stayed and listened . Lovely place to visit .

Tulika Chakraborty

Felt the positive vibes and presence of a God there. Was very happy to be there

Basma Altaie

I like the heritage and significance of the place.

Tom indo

Very nice church and sacred too. Inside the church you can stop for some interesting praying spot. They have souvenir shop too and you there is also dedicated room with the father to bless your purchased or ask for bless for your self.

Rahim Jumani

One of the best cathedrals I have been to. It was better than Notre Dame in Montreal, in my opinion. Photos do not do this place any justice

Brandon Rego

Amazing Church, unfortunately I want able to attend Sunday Mass here..

Michael Landry

This is a shrine for St. Anne the Virgin Mary's mother, grandmother to Jesus. May healings are attributed to St. Anne at this location. A very Holy place to pray. They have a Relic of St. Anne that is available during Special Masses for the Faithful.

Claudia Garcia

Very beautiful basilica, with full of religious details on ceiling frescoes. There is the convent as well as the small chapel that is under the big basilica. All of them beautiful. A place where peace and God can be felt within and leads your soul to peace. There is beside/behind the religious store for either a souvenir or faith guidance items.

Akshay Gandhi

Another piece of amazing Architecture! I heard that this place heals and there are 2 walls with different crutches and sticks that are displayed where people have come in and have been cured. Have faith and you will be healed!

Jai Lee

Beautiful cathedral also well worth checking the basement

Paul Lin

Really cool church to check out, especially it's on the way to the fall.

S D

Beautiful church. Must visit once in life time.

Ashruth R

Beautiful and magnificant

Christine Monk

Important cultural spot to visit when in the Quebec City region

Mack Wilowski

The shrine of Sainte Anne is a beautiful church both from the inside and out; it has a very peaceful atmosphere inside while the exterior is massive with Gothic-like architecture. Well worth stopping here as a side-trip from Quebec.

Alberto Morais

if you appreciate old church architecture, it's a must. do not forget to visit the chappel downstairs

abel fouopi lemouchele

Excellent place to have some quiet time. If you come to Quebec city, this is one of the "most visit" place, you will not regret. You can even sleep around because there is a lot of motels and hotels and guest House around. Have fun!!!

Mathieu Bellerive

Great landmark, area around this basilica worth a stroll too.

Sam Attia

Don't miss visiting this church if you are visiting Quebec city

Gregory G

We visited Sainte Anne de Beaupre as a day trip from Quebec City. It was a pretty drive with views of the Saint Lawrence River and cute Quebec towns. The view of this Santuaire from the exterior is unreal! So breathtaking! We were able to participate in a free English speaking tour (I think they have them every other hour...alternating between French and English). The tour was excellent and we learned a great deal...which is important because there is so much to see and possibly miss here. We spent a couple hours here and I would absolutely say this place is a must see if you’re in the area!

Michele Chatelain

Grandiose, beautiful ! Area boutiques are cute. Sad that many seem closed for good due to covid

Kevin Purdy

Unbelievable work they done on it .If u haven't been there u have to see it once And if you believe iin God then it's even better

Jane Burrus

A wonderful walking path and beautiful water falls

Theresa layton

Was completely life altering.. 10/10 would highly recommend

Ken Wilkins

When my wife and I lived in Sterling Heights, Michigan, we took a vacation trip to Canada starting at Sarnia, Ontario and driving to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec. We stayed in Quebec on Saturday night and went to Sunday Mass at this beautiful church. We heard part of the Mass in French on the main floor of the church and then stayed for an entire Mass in English that was said on the lower floor of the church. This was a great place to fulfill our Sunday Mass obligation on our vacation.

Jennifer Petitjean

Absolutely beautiful and very nice staff ! Lived our visit

Peter Van Dyken

Absolutely beautiful. Signs in the many rooms and chapels allow for a self guided tour. Definitely worth stopping by

Bruce Tout

Magnificent and awe striking

Ken Francis

Wow! What a beautiful church. Amazing inside and out. You don't have to be religious to appreciate this place. It is really a special place. Visit the gift shops on the street for some thing to take home.

Dax

Great basilica. Staff super friendly, specially the Priests and the sacristan. The little store is cool too with lots of stuff with affordable prices. Lost 1x for the bathroom - Gosh it's a contrast. Awesome basilica and stuff - 1960s look of the restroom, not clean and 1/3 with broken stuff looks dirty. Other than that fantastic place.

Joelle Sarkis

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited so far in Quebec. I was happily surprised to find the statue of our Lebanese Saint Charbel. Don’t miss “Le Chemin de La Croix” or “le Calvaire”.

David McKay

Wow Beautiful place Visit if you can

Taera Bliss

Absolutely stunning.

Kari Caruana

What a beautiful place. As someone who doesn't necessarily believe in the institution, I think it's worth visiting for its cultural, architectural, and artistic value. Also, free parking!

Zach K

A must stop... reminded us of our time in Europe. Very serene so glad we stopped. Please do take a moment and check out the neighborhood.

Latino Micz

Gorgeous place. I'm not into churches but can appreciate the architecture marvel that this place is. Must see if you are in the area.

Robin Mitra

Spiritually enriching...Its here where the wounded are Healed..!

Vincent Nachaty

Beautiful shrine, very impressive, spiritually packed and a truly beautiful place.

Not worth the trip unless you are Catholic. The basilica is huge and nice to look at but the sanctuary is very small and unremarkable.

Joseph Kerollos

Nice cathedral just check the schedule before you go

Scarlett Chan (Schan)

Amazing church that is a must see if you are in the area. The ceiling in this church is unbelievable.

Architecturally magnificent. Comparable to some of the much older and equally beautiful European counterparts. Open to public. No entrance fee the day we went. Public bathroom on-site. Was a lovely visit. Previous Ste.Anne churches nearby. Worth stopping by for awhile.

Kenneth Pelletier

Great place for pilgrimage. Beautiful sanctuaire

John & Amy Miller

Definitely worth a visit if you are staying in Quebec city. Short drive north. Great story. Only need an hour or so to see the whole church.

Danielle Digiovine

Beautiful! No words describe it.

Eric Lee

Beautiful and breathtaking. Saw it from side of road at night driving to our hotel and had to stop by the next day

Logan Duff-Meadwell

Got there at 4:40 and the doors were closed even though it said it closed at 5. Nice from the outside!

Chellaturai Prince

Very nice old church. Good surrounding views.

Maytham Sabbagh

The architecture of this place is magnificent. Some fine details were put in and it is great!

Sarah Osbourne

Such a beautiful place. Attended the mass, luckily it started shortly after we arrived. Wish my mother was still here so she could have seen this. My wish is that somehow she could momentarily vicariously live through me for this experience.

Mabel Actavia Anthonipillai

I love this place. At night, with the candlelight procession, it feels like im in paradise. It is simply a beautiful place to visit!!!!????????????

Joe Alphonso

Beautiful! A perfect place for worship, prayer and contemplation. I wonder if the locals know the treasure among them that this place is...in their very midst!

Damian Miralles

This is a very beautiful place to visit all year but during the winter takes a certain type of life

Luz Escobar

Beautiful church with a history of miracles. St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, relic arm is there.

Jose Posada

Absolutely breath taking. One of the most beautiful structures I have ever visited. If traveling to Quebec City, this is a must see.

B H

A great visit to this huge church. Inside was quite nice considering the churches in Canada. Situated about 35 minutes from Quebec City...definitely need a car and would be worth the trip. If relying on Uber, not sure you would want to spend the money just to go here...not much around other than this church and a few smaller ones up the hill.

Hermi Argonza

Excellent architectural design.

Joe Pienezza

Beyond expression, so beautiful, the mosaics and copper depicted seen on both sides of the 3 front doors.

Brenda MacRae

I've been to other "Churches" but I was blown away by this one. I was in awe of everything. It's a must see even for other religions. Could have spent days there and not seen everything. Absolutely breathtaking.

Laura Quintana

Amazing church. It is 18 miles from Quebec city. Visit early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

Mel Plante

I have been visiting this Cathedral my whole life. I love it's beauty. I bring my family every chance I get while in Québec City.

William Toulouse

One of the highlights of our trip to Quebec. Grand architecture and a place of great reverence. We went to mass in French which was a wonderful experience for our family. We also spent time in prayer and thought. Peaceful.

Alain Carriere

Such a beautiful place I pass by this place so many times and never actually went inside it. I am glad we took some time to visit. One of the most beautiful churches I have seen and I have visited hundreds in my live so far.

Gaurav Saxena

Very impressive cathedral both inside and outside. The fall colours added to its beauty.

Peaceful and very quiet. Very nice place to discover and communicate with your inner self.

lyn francis

Amazing church!

Cora Cuyegkeng

It is a magnificent church well known for it's healing powers.

Amazing. Be careful though, Uber doesn't service this far out if you are a tourist

These are the Cathedrals which keep you in awe and wonder.The sheer size and magnitude of this structure is impressive. We unfortunately could not get to see the inside though as it was closed. This …

Angelo Baleta

Very nice place!

Dale Tyerman

An amazing church . Rivals anything we have seen in Europe. Don't miss the downstairs chapel or the walk up the hill across the street and the powerful depiction of the stations of the cross.

Wing Yin Agnes Lee

Impressive and awe inspiring architecture. It is a bit of a drive from old quebec but definitely worth the visit.

Terry McAndrew

A Blessed journey. Well with the experience.

Ljupco Markovski

Beautiful Cathedral, excellent craftsmanship, the best I have seen in NA, must see

Frances Finkelstein

Magnificent architecture. Oasis of serenity and spirituality in a busy, troubled world.

Jelena Denin Djurdjevic

Very impressive place to visit. Relics of St. Anne are located in the lower level of the church.

Brian Murphy

Beautiful basilica in a most unexpected place. Interior and exterior are stunning and impressive. Only needs 1-2 hours. Combine it with Canyon Ste Anne for a great day trip from Quebec City!

Barbara Stockwell

My daughter was born with cyonotic heart disease. She was not suposed to survive her open heart surgery at 17 months. She had been in heart failure twice at 8 and at 13 months. Two weeks prior to her surgery my husband looked at me an said what I was thing. "Let's take her to St Ann's Shrine in Quebec". We left that day with our other 3 children. My husband climbed the sacred stairs with Heather on his back. We went to the monistery and had her blessed by a priest. He said she would be fine! We lived in Connecticut. Her surgery was 2 weeks later at Colombia Presbeterian in NYC. She came through it. 3 weeks later she came home. Tomorrow, Heather will be 43 years old and has a 9 year old daughter. She had to have a pulmonary valve replaced with a cow valve 1 year after having a cesarian birth but she is and has been truly blessed by St Ann and all those who prayed for her. The year after her surgery in NYC we returned to St Ann's Shrine in Quebec, and Heather climbed the Sacred staires by herself saying, "THANK YOU ST. ANN" on each stair. We believe she was a miracle baby.

Aldo Ruelas Gonzalez

Incredible structure. The ceiling is a work of art. Great work of tiles and windowing. A must see.

Debra Scott

A must if you're visiting Quebec. The beautiful architecture, the magnificent artwork and history is something to behold. We've visited many times, each time discovering details not noticed the previous time.

Natalia K

Beautiful church that has a story to tell everywhere you look; from the mosaic tiles, stain glass, paints and more.

Victor Perez-Eger

Beautiful. Historic but still relevant today. Sad to see so many cathedrals and churches in the old city closed up.

Kienan Mick

A beautiful and sacred place. This is a pilgrimage site and the Stations of the Cross are moving.

Veronica Aberle

A bit over the top. Palatial beautiful mosaics, paintings, copper entry doors but guite cold and sterile feeling.

Jude Fernando

We drove all the way from Toronto 9 hrs only to find out that the church is closed the has covid hrs. We went as their website showed regular hours with all mass timings We drove back to Montreal and stayed there total 15 hrs of driving Very irresponsible part of the administration

Jeff Willis

Historically, culturally and socially significant place. Beautiful setting can be seen as part of group or individually. Photos and videos not permitted during ceremonies. be sure to walk the grounds and surrounding area as there are related things that contribute to your experience.

Tazmir Nahar

Really spectacular and big.

Hubert Pierro

I was just their few days ago.. beautiful church..very peaceful...lil stores near by to shop around.. lots of parking available..

David Hnatiw

Very historical place to visit. Beautiful architecture. You do not have to be Catholic to appreciate the grandeur of the basilica.

Rose Mason

Very cool to see, especially for anyone who is religous. Multiple levels to see. But be cautious with small children that they are aware of people who are praying and be quiet.

Shawnna Lazo

Beautiful breath taking cathedral!! We found this and I am so glad we did. There is also a little shop across the street, if you are facing the cathedral it is on your left. The woman was amazing and we bought so many souvenirs there at very reasonable prices. She also shared that there are Falls just up the road but they were closed when we got there.

Frank Gutierrez

An amazing and beautiful place with an amazing history. Went on tour bus. Guide explained so much about its history and mystique. Worth the trip.

N N

Beautiful spot to visit whether you’re religious or not

Tom M

A wonderful place to visit, pray, meditate and walk. There were other churches, shrines and convents etc. We visited one convent and were invited to have lunch with them!

Horváth Ádám

Wunderful chatedral in Canada. Two floors and both of them are beautiful. The bottom is in "old" style with a lot of blue and gold color. The top one is a modern chatedral with a lot of mosaik.

f khoshaba

We come as family here on a yearly basis. Such a beautiful church. Even for those who aren't religious, you feel a sense of spiritual peace. So many layers to this place. You need at least 2 hours to appreciate all that it has to offer. We always visit the gift shop for some goodies to take home to our family and friends.

Labrador Kiko

Beautiful architecture church. Spacious and many paintings, mosaics, stained glass windows, stone and wooden sculptures reveal the extraordinary beauty and history of the Shrine.

Jismon Kurians

Wow ???? what a spectacular engineering beauty. The basilica and the chapel below are breath taking. The serenity of the basilica is beyond words and artworks and the structure are beyond words. The huge marble slabs and mosaics are out of …

Always a green church to visit, well worth the drive from the city. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the area.

Nathalia Zuñiga

Beautiful place; extraordinary experience. The Architecture is impressive. Mass was great! So happy we stopped and spent time there. Lots of history!
