Canadian Register of Historic Places

Search the Canadian Register and learn about historic places in Canada!

The Canadian Register is a work in progress. Current listings represent only a fraction of the total number of Canada's recognized historic places. New listings are added every week so if you don't find what you're looking for today, come visit the Canadian Register again!

The Canadian Register is a searchable database containing information about recognized historic places of local, provincial, territorial and national significance.

A "historic place" is a structure, building, group of buildings, district, landscape, archaeological site or other place in Canada that has been formally recognized for its heritage value by an appropriate authority within a jurisdiction.








With the Canadian Register you can:

  • Learn about other parts of Canada
  • Locate places to visit on vacation
  • Research history in your community
  • Create connections to your past

Many historic places listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places are publicly accessible; however, most places are privately owned. Listing of an historic place does not grant permission to enter. Please do not enter private property without permission. For those places that are publicly accessible, their listings may include links to websites that provide hours of operation.

The Canadian Register allows everyone to discover Canada's amazing historic places!
