Montreal's Notre Dame Basilica was designed by James O'Donnell of New York and was built in the Gothic Revival style that was popular in the 19th century. At the time it was built, it was the largest church in North America.
The true beauty of Notre Dame, however, is the work of designer Victor Bourgeau, who is responsible for the interior design. Notre Dame is possibly the most beautiful church in North America. The color scheme is interestingly dominated by sky-blue and sky-gold, and it is accented with a lot of timber expertly crafted by local artisans. The artwork attempts to tell both the story of the Bible along side the story of Montreal, with images of the saints right along sides images from the Canadian frontier.
