third of the world's busiest port. The later the war between Britain and France happened in 1760. In 1961, Canada started the most important reconstruction plan of North America, decided to rebuild the Canadian representative famous fortress -- New France eighteenth Century fort. Because the original fort is too large, only in a five ratio of reconstruction, the building can be seen inside the true to life likeness eighteenth Century landscape. Today, Louisbourg is a national historic building, but also is a living testimony in eighteenth Century; it is Canada's largest reconstruction of historical military architecture.
Fortress or Town?
The first impression of Louisbourg is standing in the coastal city walls. Nearly three miles of walls surrounding the Louisbourg, it allows visitors to think of the Chinese Great Wall. The wall made with stone piling, four squares, and it like very strong. In the west wall of the castle, it is thirty feet high, thirty-six feet wide, and is also equipped with a very wide ditch. The walls are level, from low to high, a total of four layers. Separated by a short distance on the wall there is a four square hole. In order to restore the history of Louisbourg, scenic area management office put eighteenth century cannons placed into shooting hole. A row of guns are down toward the sea. And in the east of the fort, the lower wall is only sixteen feet high, six feet wide, has fifteen guns pointing to the port. I think it is because the shooting angle, and perhaps is the reason should be deep position, there should be full of shooting technology first-class gunmen. According to the historians estimate, the whole wall for one hundred arrangement gunners position. This is later generations according to architectural history imitation, but deliberately does old technique, which can find the bullet holes in the wall. The cannon is so awesome stands in the seaside, tourist experience is the cruelty of war.
Fort appeared in the beginning of the sixteenth Century, they gradually replaced the castle. This facility provides not only the artillery defense, but also to provide the area around the fortress defense shooting conditions. The fortress is mainly a mixture of castles, palaces and forts of the building structure, then the three building began to differentiate. The original fortress is often fortified castle. It is usually composite in the castle. Fortress function is mainly used for defense, usually by the castle of civil execution defense. If the enemy captured by, the defender can retreat to the fortress defense as a last line of defense. In many famous castle in the case, this kind of complex building is the first from the fortress built, originally is the site of the fortifications. Along with the time evolution, the composite building will gradually to the surrounding expansion, including the outer wall and shooting holes, as a first line of defense fortress. The fortress is usually surrounded by a deep ditch protection. And the designer noted the artillery range, and in order to arrange the distance between the forts. Louisbourg had six forts, distribution is very uniform. Louisbourg was strictly according to geometry design into the fortress.
In Louisbourg, people can see the house with the number into many residents. People marvel at the Louis Berger, and sigh at its past glory. Don't forget, now Louis Berger’s area is only the previous one fifth. “Louisbourg was a large enough city to have a commercial district, a residential district, military arenas, marketplaces, inns, taverns and suburbs, as well as skilled laborers to fill all of these establishments”.(Bulletin of the Association for Preservation Technology，1972). The facilities in here are very good in that time. To be sure, the soldiers and they relatives, as the businessmen and fishermen in here, feel Louisbourg is a great place.
