Buildings like historic Assumption Church, which opened in 1845 and is slated to close on November 3rd, will have their doors open to the public this weekend.

With its future unknown and the Roman Catholic Diocese of London looking at proposals to restore it, the doors of the landmark will be opened to all this Saturday as part of Doors Open Windsor.

What began as a European event in the 1980s, Doors Open made its way to Ontario in 2002 and has permitted thousands and thousands of people to visit some otherwise-private historic homes, ancient buildings and hallowed halls.

Take in all the differences in architecture, places of worship, and workplaces of 30 different buildings, all for free.
