Lunenburg

Tucked along Lunenburg Harbour on Nova Scotia’s Atlantic coast, Lunenburg is a town whose character is shaped by its sheltered working waterfront. Founded in 1753 as a British colonial settlement, it was laid out on a regular grid that still organizes its steep streets above the harbour. The Old Town of Lunenburg became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, recognized for its preserved wooden architecture and town plan. Shipbuilding and the Atlantic fishery remain central to its identity: the famed schooner Bluenose was built here in 1921, and the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic occupies former waterfront buildings.
