Fort Chambly

Fort Chambly stands as a square stone fortress with four corner bastions and high curtain walls along the Richelieu River in Quebec.

Jacques de Chambly constructed the initial wooden fort in 1665 to protect New France from Iroquois attacks before its reconstruction in stone between 1709 and 1711.

The fort includes a museum displaying military artifacts and educational exhibits about the French colonial period and subsequent British occupation in Quebec.

The site provides guided tours from September to October and April to June, with special arrangements available for school groups throughout these periods.

This fortress represents the only remaining example of 18th-century French military architecture in the greater Montreal region.
