Our Lady of the Rosary - Windsor, ON - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

Former Our Lady of the Rosary Roman Catholic Church, located in what was once known as Ford City, then Walkerville.

The church traces its beginnings to 1884, when a church was built on a French farm. It was then known as Our Lady of the Lake/Notre Dame Du Lac, in reference to Lake St. Clair. At the time it was the largest French-language church in the area.

Following a fire that destroyed the original church, the current church was begun in 1907 and finally completed in 1913. At it's height, it was the largest French-language church in the City.

The church remained open until 2007, when a shrinking parish and skyrocketing maintenance fees caused its closure. Today it is known as the Water's Edge Event Centre.

The church is a City of Windsor Designated Heritage Property.
