To cope with the influx of worshippers, new construction began in 1741 and was completed 6 years later, before being rebuilt after the earthquake of 1748. Consecrated in 1818, the building owes its restoration to the generosity of the Confr\u00e9rie des Esclaves de Nossa Senhora do Monte and local benefactors. Highly venerated, the image of Notre-Dame du Mont attracts crowds of pilgrims every August 15.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Funchal\/&#xC9;glise-Notre-Dame-de-Mont&#xE9;\/i-LJPSW5J\/0\/LjHqnbWS6vmT95HSLWrHTbtk3DDq2kJ9BnSdDV2fM\/L\/statue%20monte%20church%20funchal-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Notre-Dame de Mont&#xE9; - A brief history\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access: Church of Our Lady of Mont\u00e9 (Funchal)<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is the church?<\/h3>\n\n<p>The address of the church building is as follows: Rampa da Sacristia 1, Monte (Funchal).<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On <strong>Madeira<\/strong> Island<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>Monte<\/strong> district, high above <strong>Funchal<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Close to the start of the famous <strong>Carreiros do Monte<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near <a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/visit-monte-palace-tropical-garden-funchal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monte Palace Tropical Garden<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near <a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/visit-public-garden-mount-funchal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monte Public Garden<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">OUR TIPS FOR RENTING YOUR CAR AT <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">\nMadeira<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"liste_voiture wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/en\/portugal\/madeira?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=madeira\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a car with a good engine for hilly roads, but not too big for manoeuvring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s plenty of demand and few cars, so <strong>book early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-3 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Madeira\/2i-Miadouro\/i-j86nfB5\/2\/DRCCwrZmGLt2TxcQqRkkLrm3JR55K3NLchGxDNsx6\/S\/driving_Madeira-7130748-S.jpg\" alt=\"Car rental in Madeira\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/en\/portugal\/madeira?a_aid=zigzag&amp;amp;chan=madeira\" style=\"border-radius:4px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View cars &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/renting-car-madeira-tips-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See our tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get there?<\/h3>\n\n<p>There are several ways to reach the church.

Perched at an altitude of 598 meters, the imposing silhouette of the building overlooks the famous Carreiros do Monte, the emblematic wicker sleds that have been part of the island&#8217;s heritage since the 19th century. The ascent, punctuated by steps, takes on the air of a stage production: at each landing, the Baroque fa\u00e7ade is revealed a little more, framed by its 2 bell towers. Behind you, the view opens out onto the Atlantic and the city of Funchal, like a living backdrop. In front of the entrance, the statue of Beato Carlos of Habsburg, the last emperor of Austria, announces that you are about to enter a place where history, art and spirituality intertwine.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Funchal\/&#xC9;glise-Notre-Dame-de-Mont&#xE9;\/i-5pPZwML\/0\/MNDr7LbMVJfPBkjHB6Bm33SJ27JtQm5RCHQ7vFcxN\/L\/high%20stairs%20monte%20church%20funchal-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Notre-Dame de Mont&#xE9; - An impressive finish: admire the church from the bottom of the stairs\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A luminous interior: discover the artistic wealth of the church<\/h2>\n\n<p>Stepping through the doors of Notre-Dame de Mont\u00e9 Church reveals an interior of remarkable artistic richness. The late 18th-century altars, adorned with gilded sculptures and religious paintings, were particularly striking. One of the side chapels contains the tomb of the last Austrian emperor, who died in Monte in 1922. This place of meditation exudes a special atmosphere, a blend of royal solemnity and spirituality. Look up to admire the painted wooden ceiling, a true masterpiece. You&#8217;ll also be seduced by the play of light created by the chandeliers that harmoniously illuminate the entire nave.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Funchal\/&#xC9;glise-Notre-Dame-de-Mont&#xE9;\/i-hjDDG7L\/0\/LDfgvc6zxXDtrPrBHmm3sVttpSTkXkGdr75jpnrFd\/L\/interior%20monte%20church%20funchal-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Notre-Dame de Mont&#xE9; - A luminous interior: discover the artistic wealth of the church\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gain height: climb to the rostrum for a view of the nave<\/h2>\n\n<p>Access to the tribune is a rare privilege, offering a unique perspective on the building. Climb the narrow staircase to discover a moving frieze tracing the life of Charles I of Austria, carved wooden benches and a discreet organ. From here, the view embraces the entire nave right up to the choir, revealing the harmonious proportions of the Baroque architecture. This vantage point also allows us to admire details invisible from the ground, such as the ceiling motifs or the symmetry of the side chapels.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
