| Description |
Fort Anne is the oldest national historic site in Canada, designated in 1917. Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada In the 1600s and 1700s, the site was the centre of early European colonization and settlement in the area called Acadie by the French, Nova Scotia by the British. Top right - Powder magazine - now reconstructed, it was originally constructed by the French in 1708. Middle right - Sally Port - Built by the British sometime between 1745 and 1753. Earlier the French had a gate here. Bottom right - Store house - A provision store was located on this site during both the English and French periods. The French and British in turn had their colonial capitals here, and built several forts to protect them. From here their officials interacted with the Mi’kmaq, Acadians, and the British residents. It was one of the most hotly contested territories in North America, enduring alternating sieges and attacks from the French and the British seeking control of the continent. The 1702 earth works are the earliest Canadian example of a Vauban-style fort. Vauban was the undisputed European fort design master of his time. |
