In 1679 Charles Le Moyne and Jacques Le Ber owned the place until 1686 when Le Ber was named Sieur Le Ber de Senneville and built a windmill to produce flour from the grain. Six years later a fortress was built because the previous one was razed by a fire as it was made of wood. The fortress was an important element in the wars of 1692 and 1714. The place was burned down in 1776 by General Benedict Arnold during the American invasion of 1776.  Media Coverage  Future Plans The fort was classified as a provincial historic site in November 2003. Quebec's Ministry of Cultural Affairs is financing work to stabilize the crumbling masonry to the tune of $410,000. The Hackney family (owners of the property) and the citizens group Friends of Senneville are petitioning Parks Canada to purchase the fort and turn it into a National Historic Site.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Psycho Tue, Jun 8th, 2004 posted by psycho 5 pictures Historic Fri, May 13th, 2005 posted by psycho 4 pictures Fort Le ber 2011 Sun, Jun 19th, 2011 posted by Anonymous 14 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links History of Senneville E: http://pierrefonds...6-en/hist8a16a.asp F: http://pierrefonds...6-fr/hist8a16f.asp Fort Senneville and Moulin LeBer F: http://www.cfqlmc.org/senneville.htm  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
