Martyrs’ Shrine

Recommended by Mark

The Martyrs’ Shrine is a Roman Catholic Church which honours the Canadian Martyrs. The church is built out of beautiful stone and fits perfectly with its green surroundings. Its height also adds an element of beauty as it looks like the church is reaching upwards.

The interior is covered in amber wood and it adds another level of depth to the church as it enriches and enhances the natural light that flows into the church.

Please note that the church closes for the winter season.
