Lunenburg:

Originally established in 1753 by settlers from Germany, Switzerland, and France, Lunenburg is renowned for its picturesque waterfront, thriving fishing industry, expert shipbuilding, and distinctive architecture.

Lunenburg has been the birthplace of numerous wooden sailing ships, including the celebrated Bluenose, launched in 1921. This fishing schooner not only excelled in its trade but also became an iconic racing vessel, now immortalized on the Canadian ten-cent coin.

The ‘Old Town’ district of Lunenburg stands as a quintessential representation of British colonial establishment in North America. Its historical structures and residences stretch back to the 1760s. In recognition of its cultural significance, the ‘Old Town’ was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995, one of only 12 such sites in Canada out of a global total of 469. The ‘Old Town’ boasts approximately four hundred historic edifices.
