The Fortress of Louisbourg is a renowned tourist attraction and national historic site with a quarter partial reconstruction of an 18th-century French fortress located in Louisbourg, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Its pivotal role in the Anglo-French struggle in Canada, the strategic sieges it faced, and its extensive fortifications make it a significant piece of North American history. The fortress has been partially restored over the years and now serves as a living history museum operated by Parks Canada.
