Saint-Romuald is a district within the Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière-Est borough 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. There is also an urban legend that says the grocery store '' Metro '' is haunted at night, many worker during the night heard a girl cried but was never found. The grocery store became a touristic attraction since 1991. The largest oil refinery in eastern Canada, owned by Valero Energy Corporation, 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.〔(Fondation du patrimoine religieux du Québec. Bulletin. Hiver 2001.
