Father Lacombe Chapel Provincial Historic Site

Overview

This simple chapel, Alberta's oldest building, became the centre of the thriving French speaking Métis settlement of St. Albert. Today the chapel has been restored to look much as it did in the early 1860s. Drop in and let the historical interpreters take you back to an earlier time. Tour the chapel, the crypt, grotto and the cemetery for a truly unique experience. Tours are provided in English and in French language. Other attractions to round out your visit are the Founders' Walk historic interpretive trail with interpretive panels telling the history of St. Albert, the St. Albert Grain Elevator museum, the Little White School house and across the river is Musee' Heritage.
