Capitvated by history and frozen in time, Lunenburg's dedication to preserving
its rich heritage hasn't hindered its ability to propel into the future. Formally
established in 1753, Lunenburg is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean,
approximately 88 km (55 mi) east of Halifax.
An unwavering commitment to preserving many of its century-old buildings, like
the Fink
Holder House and the Koch-Solomon
House, has earned “Old
Town” Lunenburg the distinction of becoming the second of two urban communities
in North America to be named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In 1921, Lunenburg
exerted its mastery in shipbuilding, when Canada's famous tall ship, the Bluenose,
was introduced at Lunenburg's harbour. The proud sails of the Bluenose
II, an exact replica of the original, can frequently be seen at its home
port in town, attracting much adoration. Most likely inspired by their surroundings,
many artisans make their home here, contributing to Lunenburg's healthy cultural
scene.
