Old Town Lunenburg
Lunenburg is the best surviving example of a planned British colonial settlement in North America. Established in 1753, it has retained its original layout and overall appearance, based on a rectangular grid pattern drawn up in the home country. The inhabitants have managed to safeguard the city's identity throughout the centuries by preserving the wooden architecture of the houses, some of which date from the 18th century.
卢嫩堡旧城
卢嫩堡是英国在北美规划的殖民地住区典范，建于1753年，有保存完好的原始布局和完整的外观，城市整体结构呈矩形，摹仿了英国本土的城市规划结构。几个世纪以来，当地居民尽量保持城市的特性，为此他们不遗余力地保留那些木结构的房屋，其中有些房屋的历史可追溯到18世纪。
