Churches in Ottawa
Many beautiful and architecturally-pleasing churches are found in Ottawa,
the majority of which were built in the 19th century. St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church, founded in 1828 on Kent Street, is Ottawa's oldest Protestant
church. The Cathedral Basilica of Notre Dame, erected in 1839 on Sussex
Drive, has soaring twin spires and is one of the finest examples of painted
and carved neo-Gothic interiors in Canada. Saint Patrick's Basilica on
Kent Street at Nepean Street was founded in 1855 and is the oldest parish
in Ottawa serving English-speaking Catholics; Saint Patrick's was elevated
to Basilica status in 1995.
Christ Church Cathedral, on Sparks Street, was founded in 1832 and is
the capital's Anglican Cathedral. The city's First Baptist Church, on
Laurier Street, was founded in 1857. These are just a few of the beautiful
old heritage churches of Ottawa. Visitors are welcome at area churches,
some of which provide tours or printed guides for interested guests.
