Oka Cistercian Trappist Monastery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oka Cistercian Trappist Monastery is on Oka, Québec Canada. In 1881, eight Trappists left the Abbey of Bellefontaine, France, to begin a new foundation in Canada. The Sulpicians offered the Trappists land situated in the Seigneurie of Lake of Two Mountains. On the 9th of November 1881, after having occupied for a few months the tiny cottage belonging to the miller Gagnon and his family, the monks took possession of their first true monastery. It was built from wood at the top of the Saint Sulpice hill. Several years later it was to become the first agricultural school of Oka designated under the name of Oka Agricultural Institute affiliated with the Université de Montréal.
