Attractions





Giant kovbasa in Mundare


Mundare is host to The Basilian Father's Museum that presents the history of the Ukrainian settlement and Basilian Fathers Mission in east-central Alberta. It holds a unique collection of 16th and 17th century liturgical books from Ukraine. The museum is off of the highway 855 that borders the eastern part of town and is across from the "Grotto" called the "Golgotha of Mundare", an elegant garden and shrine that was built by the Basilian Fathers in 1934.


It is also home of the world's largest garlic sausage (kielbasa or kovbasa), which cost about $120,000 to build and erect.[7]
