Hopedale Mission Complex Hopedale Mission was established by the Moravian Church in 1782 and named for an earlier mission, the Church's first and tragic attempt in 1752 to establish a Labrador post. The detached mission building, probably built in the 18th century, is the earliest surviving Moravian structure on the Labrador coast. The Church, with its truncated gable ends and distinctive cupola, and the connecting Mission House were built between 1850 and 1861. In addition to their spiritual influence on Inuit life, the Moravian Brethren provided until the 1950s almost all the medical and educational services in northern Labrador.

La mission Hopedale Cette mission de l'Église morave a été établie en 1782. Elle porte le nom d'une mission précédente fondée en 1752, première et tragique tentative d'ouvrir un poste au Labrador. Le bâtiment de la mission, probablement construit au XVIIIe siècle, est la plus ancienne construction morave qui reste sur la côte du Labrador. L'église à pignons tronqués et à coupole caractéristique ainsi que la résidence attenante ont été bâties entre 1850 et 1861. Les Frères moraves ont exercé une influence spirituelle sur les Inuit et, jusqu'aux années 1950, leurs services médicaux et éducatifs étaient presque les seuls dans le nord du Labrador.
