Saint-Vital Museum
The St. Vital Museum is located in the old St. Vital police station within the fire station at 600 St. Mary’s road. Both the fire station and the police station were closed in the 1970’s and adapted as a centre for the City Health Department and an ambulance station. The fire hall was designated a heritage building in 1982 and the Museum officially opened in 2008. There you can find many artifacts relating to the history of St. Vital dating all the way back to the 1800’s.

St. Norbert Arts Centre
In keeping with the Trappist tradition of hospitality, this former Trappist guesthouse was built in 1912 to provide comfortable lodging to visitors of the monastery. The guesthouse’s functional three-story wood-frame design with a rectangular floor plan and mansard roof is a good example of Roman Catholic ecclesiastical architecture in Canada at the time of its construction. It is currently home to many resident artists. The grounds also has gardens and numerous on-site installations to be enjoyed by the public.
