Historic Sites of Manitoba: Convent of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (St. Jean Baptiste, RM of Montcalm)
This building, the oldest rural convent in Manitoba, is a provincially designated historic site in St. Jean Baptiste in the Rural Municipality of Montcalm. It was built between 1897 and 1898 on a design by architect J. A. Senecal. A north wing was added in 1910 by the partnership of Senecal and J. A. Hudon. It served as a convent, girls’ school, and boarding facility until closing in 1992. Sold to private ownership in 1994, various plans called for it to become an antique and gift shop, museum, or tearoom.
