Notre Dame is the oldest church in Ottawa. The cathedral basilica is located east of the city centre in the Lowertown district, opposite the National Gallery.
The tin-clad twin towers are a dominant feature.

The cathedral basilica was built from 1841 to 1866 in the neo-Gothic style. It is the largest and oldest church in Ottawa and the seat of the Archbishop of Ottawa.
The organ and the stained glass windows are particularly noteworthy.
