In 1978, the Trappists moved to a site near Holland, Manitoba, to protect their contemplative life from the effects of urban sprawl. Fire gutted the vacated church and residential wing five years later. Information about the Trappist monks and the monastery is on display at the remaining ruins. The former Trappist Monastery Guesthouse, now called The St. Norbert Arts Centre, is home to many resident artists and is located on the grounds. 100 rue des ruines du Monastère – St. Norbert UKRAINIAN MUSEUM OF CANADA W M The Museum is located in the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral.
