The Canadian Museum includes, in its Canada Hall, a small but complete
church (Ukrainian Catholic, as I recall) moved there from Western Canada
and, I believe, rededicated on its installation. Mind you, in size, it's not
exactly Westminster Abbey - but it is an artistic, historic and, I suppose,
ecclesiastical gem.
The National Gallery of Canada, across the river from CMC, includes a chapel
from one of the area's oldest religious orders, with a splendid wooden
ceiling.
