Heritage Preservation
Moncton’s heritage properties reflect the city’s history, helping to tell the story of our past. Having withstood the test of time, these gracious, timeless properties offer solid construction and unique architectural detail. Heritage properties contribute significantly to the urban flavour and to the essence of our city. In 1996, the City of Moncton established Heritage Preservation By-law Z-1102 to help protect Moncton’s rich collection of architecture and landscapes that date back to the nineteenth century. Currently, more than 120 properties are protected as individual landmarks.
