🇨🇦 Hidden Gem Near Vancouver | Mission's Must-Visit Abbey ⛪️
📍 Westminster Abbey 34224 Dewdney Trunk Rd, Mission, BC Spent the first day of the long weekend in Mission, discovering this medieval-style abbey that feels teleported from Europe! Perched on a hill overlooking the Fraser Valley, its serene grandeur is awe-inspiring. ✨ Why It's Magical: • Snow-white stone walls, towering spires, and intricate archway carvings—even the approach feels monumental! • Inside, stained-glass windows cast rainbow light onto ancient pillars and wooden pews—pure fairytale vibes. • Caught a choir rehearsal during our visit—ethereal hymns echoing under the dome gave us literal chills! 🌿 The Vibe: No crowds, just whispering winds, distant bell chimes, and profound peace. Even non-religious visitors will feel the spiritual energy here. 📌 Note: Dress code enforced (no bare shoulders/midriffs; shorts must be knee-length). (🕯️ Light a candle for $2—a beautiful tradition!) (📸 Outside photos allowed; interior photography restricted) (🌄 Sunset views over the valley are spectacular!) #VancouverLife #ExploreBC #HiddenBC #MissionBC #AbbeyViews #ArchitectureLovers #WeekendEscapes #BCTravel #LongWeekendVibes
