Fort Lennox, Military museum and national historic site on Île aux Noix, Quebec, Canada.
Fort Lennox encompasses stone buildings and defense works on an island in the Richelieu River, complete with a star-shaped perimeter moat.
The British constructed Fort Lennox between 1819 and 1829 as a defensive stronghold following strategic military conflicts with the United States.
The fort exhibits military artifacts, period rooms, and architectural elements that represent British colonial defense systems in 19th-century North America.
Visitors reach the fort via a five-minute ferry ride from the welcome center, with guided tours available throughout the regular operating season.
During World War II, Fort Lennox served as a temporary shelter for European Jewish refugees seeking safety in North America.
