Summary
| Description |
French explorer Smauel de Champlain named Cape D’Or (Cape of Gold) when he sailed by here in 1607. Originally established as a fog horn station in 1875, the Cape d'Or lightstation is perched halfway up the dramatic cliffs rising out of the turbulent Minas Channel. The cape received its first lighthouse in 1922. The present lighthouse, is a one-story fog signal building with a light tower rising from one corner, it was built in 1965. After automation in 1989, the two keeper’s dwellings, completed in 1959, sat vacant until being leased by the Advocate District Development Association in 1995 and converted into a tearoom and hostel. This is the only lighthouse in Nova Scotia to offer overnight accommodations. |
