Brock's Monument, Military memorial in Queenston Heights, Canada

This limestone column reaches 56 meters in height and stands as the fourth oldest war memorial structure in Canada.

The original monument from 1824 was damaged by explosives in 1840, leading to the construction of the current structure between 1853 and 1856.

The monument contains plaques honoring British, Canadian, and First Nations soldiers who died during the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812.

Visitors can ascend 235 steps to reach an observation platform that provides views of Lake Ontario and the Niagara region.

The monument serves as the final resting place for Major General Sir Isaac Brock and Lieutenant Colonel John Macdonell at its base.
