Description

1632 - Isaac de Racily establishes Fort Ste-Marie-de-Grace

In 1632 a strongly built fort with 25 cannon was established here by Isaac de Racily. He was appointed Lieutenant-General for King Louis XIII in all of New France. This made LaHave the capital of New France, until Razilly’s death in 1636, after which most of the inhabitants were transferred to Port Royal.

The fort stood out on the headland, which in those days was higher and extended farther out into the river. It was destroyed in 1653 or 1654 by Emmanuel LeBorgne. The ruins have since been lost because of coastal erosion.
