Overlooking the confluence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site of Canada is located in and around the harbour area of Kingston, Ontario.
Here you’ll find five 19th-century military installations which were built from 1832-1840. The limestone fortifications were constructed as a defensible platform for guns and played an important role for the British Military during the War of 1812. These five sites were built to defend Kingston Harbour and the strategic placement of the Rideau Canal’s southern terminus.
