Lunenburg, Nova Scotia A Seaside Gem Steeped in Heritage and Charm

Nestled on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its brightly painted buildings, working waterfront, and rich seafaring legacy. With its unique architecture, vibrant arts scene, and deep-rooted history, Lunenburg blends small-town warmth with world-class cultural appeal.

Established in 1753 as one of Nova Scotia’s first British colonial settlements outside Halifax, Lunenburg was designed as a model town — and its original street grid and colourful heritage homes still stand today. The town flourished through fishing, shipbuilding, and trade, and is famously home to the Bluenose schooner, a symbol of Canada’s maritime pride. Today, landmarks like the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, St. John’s Anglican Church, and the Lunenburg Academy keep the town’s storied past alive.
