Fort Henry, Military fortress at Point Henry, Kingston, Canada.
The limestone fortification stands on a cliff overlooking Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, featuring thick defensive walls and stone ramparts.
British forces constructed Fort Henry between 1832 and 1836 to protect the Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard and monitor maritime traffic along strategic waterways.
The Fort Henry Guard performs military demonstrations in period uniforms, showing visitors the daily routines and practices of 19th-century British soldiers.
The fortress opens daily from May to September, with reduced hours in spring and fall, offering guided tours in multiple languages through its barracks and tunnels.
During World War I, the fortress transformed into a detention center, holding numerous enemy aliens within its fortified stone walls and underground chambers.
