Site du Collège de Caraquet, Educational heritage site in Caraquet, Canada

The Site du Collège de Caraquet features a commemorative monument with a bust of Saint Jean-Eudes mounted on an original cut stone base from the college.

Construction of the Collège de Caraquet began in 1894, with the institution opening in 1899 before receiving its university charter as Université du Sacré-Cœur in 1900.

The college served as the first classical educational institution in northern New Brunswick where Acadian students received instruction in their native French language.

Located at 220 Boulevard St-Pierre-Ouest, the site now functions as the Centre culturel de Caraquet, maintaining its connection to community education and activities.

The stone foundation remains the only physical element of the original college structure, which burned down on December 31, 1915 and remained as ruins until 1949.
