Reviews of Saint Boniface Cathedral (Tourist Attraction)

Peter Paley

A ln excellent example of Manitoba history

Cory Chatwell

Icon of at Boniface

Rob Penner

Architecture at its finest. They sure don't build beautiful structures like this anymore. Thank goodness part of the building was saved so it could be appreciated for generations.

Jesse Carlson

Beautiful to see in person would highly recommend walking there!

Pauline Jeans

This is a very beautiful piece of historical craftsmanship.

Leah McBride

Beautiful place

(Translated) Cathedrale vetusse but full of history (Original) Cathedrale vetusse mais plein d histoire

L Fletcher

Some really amazing architecture. Across the street is just as nice. Definitely make it a stop if you are in Winnipeg!

Cathy Bogaart

I didn’t find that there was enough information on the cathedral to make it a great stop. I’m sure if I’d paid someone to give me a guided tour it would have been better. It looks like there is some history, and it’s lovely, but I’d have thought they’d have more placards around to explain the historical significance of the place. On site is also the headstone (burial place?) of Louis Riel. So it’s still a god spot to visit.

A part of history, to look around the old brick Cathedral, interesting sites

Rolly Gagné

Amazing property

Tim Drake

There isn't much about the new, modern Cathedral to attract, but the remains of the Old Cathedral stand as a testament to the power of beauty, richness, and architecture.

Dane B

Impressive cathedral and the grounds are nice and peaceful. A good place to look around for a little while, including the tombstone of Louis Riel.

Winston Sun

Beautiful Cathedral with lots of history!

Yvon Bourreau

A must see if you're in Winnipeg for a short time. A historic place, also has a Louis Riel's grave.

Korie Werner

Beautiful venue for a photo shoot

Lincoln Ho (YEGventures)

Despite the Google listing, this is NOT a basilica. It may have been before it burnt down, but the only Catholic minor basilica in Western Canada is now St. Joseph's Cathedral Basilica in Edmonton, Alberta.

Alex B

Beautiful architecture. Recommended for visiting.

(Translated) Saint Boniface is a nice suburb of the French Quarter of Winnipeg. The Saint Boniface Cathedral-The Basilica and the Saint Boniface University, one of the Universities of Winnipeg. The new church was destroyed when the new church was built. The cathedral is facing across the Red River towards downtown Winnipeg. Saint Boniface, Winnipeg The French Quarter is a nice area. Saint Boniface Cathedral and the University of Saint Boniface, one of Winnipeg's many universities, are the real attractions of the area. The original cathedral was destroyed by a fire, but fortunately the walls that were saved were saved when building a new cathedral. The result is fine! The cathedral is located along Red River, opposite the city center. (Original) Saint Boniface is a nice suburb, French Quarter of Winnipeg.

Saint Boniface, Winnipegin ranskalaiskortteli on mukavaa aluetta. Saint Bonifacen katedraali ja Saint Bonifacen yliopisto, yksi Winnipegin monista yliopistoista, ovat alueen todelliset nähtävyydet. Alkuperäinen katedraali tuhoutui tulipalossa, mutta onneksi säästyneet seinät säästettiin uutta katedraalia rakennettaessa. Lopputulos on hieno! Katedraali sijaitsee Red Riverin varrella, ydinkeskustaa vastapäätä.

Luisa O'Halloran

Beautiful in the fall. Well maintained. Great place for pictures!

Sebastián Haro

I’m not a religious person, but I loved going there. I must confess that I entered the temple because it was freezing outside and my mobile phone had turned off. So I said: ‘why not?’ They were offering a mass / service, and I decided to sit down and try to follow what the priest was saying. I don’t speak French, but I managed to sing as they were showing the lyrics on a big screen. So I must say that it’s a nice and friendly place that’s definitely worth visiting.

(Translated) The facade of the old cathedral is superb and gives the district a historical side. However, the new cathedral rebuilt behind is really a nameless ugliness.

Iconic

Mobile Oppression Palace

Beautiful sacred space with ties to many historic figures and events. Well worth the visit even if one is not religiously inclined as the view of downtown Winnipeg across the river is just postcard perfect.

Fabiano Vasconcelos

(Translated) A very cool place. It is a ruined cathedral (very preserved ruins, by the way), which in the past was destroyed by fire. In front of the cathedral you see many gravestones, probably of important people of the city, like a mini cemetery. It is right in the center of Winnipeg, next to The Forks. It is worth going there to take some photos. (Original) Um lugar bem bacana. Trata-se de uma catedral em ruínas (ruínas muito conservada, diga-se de passagem), que no passado foi destruída pelo fogo. Em frente a catedral vê-se muitas lápides, provavelmente de pessoas importantes da cidade, como se fosse um mini cemitério. Fica bem no centro de Winnipeg, ao lado do The Forks. Vale a pena ir lá tirar umas fotos.

Jose Recinos

If you're in the forks area this is one of the places that you can't miss. I can't believe that we were able to build so complicate structure without any kind of heavy machinery, The architecture is beautiful not to mention the view of the red river in the background

Dave LeBlanc

Architecture marvel and great history lesson

BARAKA MULIMBWA

Great and clean place for parties socials and weddings

Vicki Waldner

No matter what the weather this spot is always gorgeous; we were here in the rain and the sunshine and both times it was magnificent. Louis Riel's grave is right on the grounds, it's a lovely somber place to visit any time of the year.

Just spectacular

Lee Draper

The St. Boniface Cathedral-Basilica, Mother Church of Western Canada and historical site of Manitoba, was established in 1818 in the Archdiocese of Saint-Boniface. That’s the only information that I can find no information on what happened also on site there isn’t any information which is a little disappointing. So you are visiting a facade and the new church has been built behind

Aj Plumbing

The St. Boniface Cathedral is a cathedral in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is home to French Catholics, and French Canadians. Sadly, It was burned down in the 1950's and reopened in 1972, Destruction of the cathedral happened years ago, and nowadays It's still in Winnipeg.

Edward Segal

Have been visiting this place since it burnt down, well the interior back in the 60sp The exterior was left and they did a great job with the add on. A nice place to go for a walk, check out some pretty old headstones in the cemetery, and think about the history of the area. Very easy to make a tour of the Forks, the old warehouse district, market Square area and St Boniface. Heart of winnipeg. You could even catch a baseball game, or check out the human rights museum. Nice to wander around or just take a break.

To describe this facility, would be historical, with traditional highlights. Place to visit when in Winnipeg, cultural gem. Place for the faithful to gather, & engage in the Christian faith. Beautiful facility, & location parking for large functions has its issues.

I love bringing visitors here to see the cathedral. Beautiful in the daylight, but also stunning at night.
