Saint-Romuald is a district of Lévis, Quebec, Canada, located on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River across from Quebec City. The district was formerly a town (Saint-Romuald d'Etchemin), but was amalgamated with Lévis on January 1, 2002.
The largest oil refinery in eastern Canada, owned by Ultramar, is located in Saint-Romuald.
The Quebec Bridge connects Saint-Romauld to Sainte-Foy, a district of Quebec City.
The Etchemin River flows into the Saint Lawrence River at Saint-Romuald.
The district is named after a Roman Catholic parish, which is named in honour of Saint Romuald (c. 951–June 19, 1027), the founder of the Camaldolese order. The church is described as neo-classical in style and was built in 1855 by Joseph and Louis Larose.[1]
