Fort Longueuil

The territory of New France was divided into seigneuries in order to ensure the colony's defence.

His son, Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil, built a fort with four towers between 1685 and 1690 as his fortified residence.

[1] The fort was built entirely in stone masonry, and included a guard house, a chapel and corps de logis.

[3] Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil was the only Canadian-born person to be raised to the rank of Baron by a French King.

Parts of the fort are visible in the Royal Bank of Canada branch through a special made hole in the floor.
