Société du patrimoine religieux du diocèse de Saint-Hyacinthe Museum - History and society - Fine Arts and Decorative Arts / Architecture and Design / Religious Heritage The Saint-Hyacinthe seminary hosts occasional exhibitions, mainly in summer, explaining the religious heritage of the diocese. The Seminary chapel or lobby is transformed into an exhibition space. The Seminary itself was built in 1927 to plans by architect René Richer, and evokes the Gothic style of Amiens Cathedral in France. Painter, architect, decorator and master stained glass craftsman Guido Nincheri created the stained glass windows in the choir of the chapel, depicting the life of St. Anthony of Padua. The two magnificent rose windows in the transept are the work of the José Osterrath firm of Cowansville, while the high altar and the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph altar were produced by Casavant et Frères. 650, rue Girouard Est Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec J2S 2Y2 (buses) Telephone: 450 261-0593 Fax: 450 252-3018 Exhibitions: French Guided tours: French SMQ code: 1279 E-mail: sprs@cgocable.ca Website: http://www.prah.org/ Number of exhibitions: 1 Number of sites to visit: 1 By appointment only
