gargoyles at Christ Church Cathedral

Gargoyles on the Anglican Christ Church Cathedral (built 1859) looking a little chilly on December 18th. The space under the church’s stone arches on Ste-Catherine street is out of the wind, well-light at night, and almost always inhabited by a few homeless people.

  1. There are very churches or other buildings in Montreal with gargoyles (or grotesques), and I would warmly welcome knowing where more are.

    I love to use such architecturally interesting things to design our urban bike ride destinations and mid-ride stops.
