Monument-Lefebvre, Cultural center and national historic site in Memramcook, Canada

The Monument-Lefebvre building features rusticated olive sandstone construction with Romanesque Revival details and stands on an elevated position within Saint-Joseph's College campus.

Built between 1896 and 1897, the structure commemorates Father Camille Lefebvre, who established the first French-language institution granting university degrees in Atlantic Canada.

The second-floor theatre maintains its original wooden ceiling and iron railings, serving as a central venue for performances and community gatherings.

The site operates Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM during September to June, and daily from 9 AM to 5 PM in July and August.

The building contains commemorative stained glass windows and a carved tablet that document the educational legacy of Father Lefebvre in the Acadian community.
