Fort Lévis, Colonial military fort in Ogdensburg, US.
Fort Lévis stands on Isle Royale in the St. Lawrence River, featuring earthen walls, wooden structures, and strategic positions near dangerous rapids.
The French constructed Fort Lévis in 1759 during the French and Indian War, naming it after François Gaston de Lévis, before British forces captured it in 1760.
The fort represents colonial military engineering practices, demonstrating French defensive architecture with casemates, barracks, and artillery placements along the St. Lawrence River.
The original site of Fort Lévis now lies submerged beneath the waters of the Saint Lawrence Seaway following construction projects in the 1950s.
British forces renamed the captured fortress to Fort William Augustus, operating it until 1766 when they abandoned the strategic position.
