It once was home to nuns of the Redemptoristines order. The property has been purchased by a real-estate developer, who plans to redevelop it for funeral services.
The Convent of the Redemptoristines is a convent in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Québec, Canada, that once was home to nuns of the Redemptoristines order. Owing to its Gothic Revival architecture and importance in the region's religious history, it was added to the Cultural heritage register of Quebec in 2001. A decline in religious vocations resulted in a loss of numbers, and remaining elderly nuns moved to another site in the 1990s. The property was essentially abandoned after being used temporarily for other operations.

A replica of the Holy Stairs that Jesus climbs to go before Pontius Pilate. Erected on a hillside, the Scala Santa was inaugurated in 1891. Also, statues and paintings recount the scene of the Ecce Homo (Pilate that presents Jesus to the crowd).
Basilique de Sainte-Anne de Beaupré
An enormous church which is reputed to have healing powers similar to those of Lourdes. It has a copy of Michelangelo's statue, the Pietà (the original is in Rome). The basilica is believed to be a place of miracles. One of the builders of the original church, Louis Guimont, helped build the church despite having severe scoliosis and needing the aid of a crutch. When the church was complete, he was able to walk independently. Many subsequent visitors who have prayed at the church have left their canes, crutches and walking aids behind as testament to their healing. The main wall at the entry into the basilica is completely covered with crutches.
