Fort Senneville, Military ruins in Senneville, Canada
The stone fortress stands on the banks of the Ottawa River, featuring thick defensive walls and a strategic position near the St. Lawrence River intersection.
French settlers constructed the initial wooden fort in 1671, later replaced by a stronger stone structure in 1692 under Governor-General Frontenac's orders.
The site represents a significant French colonial military outpost that protected fur trading operations and settlers in the Montreal region during the 17th century.
The ruins remain on private property without public access, though their status as a National Historic Site ensures their preservation for future generations.
A stone windmill from 1686 served as both a watchtower and grinding facility, incorporating defensive features such as machicolation within its architecture.
