Saint-Stanislas de Kosta Church, 1350 Saint-Joseph Blvd. East

These two buildings were made famous by author Michel Tremblay in his Chroniques du Plateau Mont-Royal. The second book in the Chroniques is entitled Thérèse ef Pierrette à l’école des Saints-Anges ("Thérèse and Pierrette at the Saints-Anges School"). Here you are at the heart of Michel Tremblay’s world, near Fabre Street, where he grew up. The church, competed in 1912, is Neo-Roman in style.
