Louisbourg's Louisbrick Legos #AtoZChallenge

We visited the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Side on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada in July of 2024.

The Fortress of Louisbourg is a reconstruction (along with some ruins) of what was once a large French town and fortification. It existed from around 1719 to 1758, when it was destroyed.  It was a victim of wars between the British and French.

In 1961 a decision was made to reconstruct at least part of the fortress and town, and this was accomplished during the 1960s to 1980s.  In fact, the tour guide who took us to the site and showed our tour group around worked on the reconstruction when he was in college.

An entrance.

I have more pictures of reconstructed Louisbourg but what I wanted to show you today was something called Louisbrick, which is a reconstruction model of Louisbourg's Island Battery made entirely from Legos bricks.

The harbor area.

There were a lot of people there and this wasn't taken at a great angle.

Buildings. Again, remember, these are all Legos.

Gardens.

I don't think it was meant to be a permanent exhibition but it was donated and can still be seen today online if you can't make it there in person.

Have you ever built anything with Legos?
