Fort Longueuil, Archaeological site and national historic fort in Le Vieux-Longueuil, Canada.
The stone fort complex included guard houses, a chapel, and corps de logis, extending beneath the present Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue Cathedral in Longueuil.
Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil constructed the fort between 1685 and 1690 as a defensive outpost against Iroquois attacks during French colonization.
The fort represents French colonial architecture in Quebec, incorporating elements later integrated into the Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue Cathedral construction in 1887.
Archaeological remains of Fort Longueuil can be observed through a viewing point in the floor of the Royal Bank of Canada branch.
Charles Le Moyne became the only Canadian-born person elevated to the rank of Baron by a French monarch, receiving this title in 1700.
