Grosnez Castle
St Ouen, Jersey
This ancient 14th century partly ruined Castle has a cliff-top location next to
the ceremonial rock, Le Pinacle, which has been a place of worship for thousands
of years. Owned and maintained by the Jersey Heritage Trust, Grosnez Castle is thought
to have been built for Sir John des Roches during the 14th century and was constructed
using locally quarried granite. Because it is built on very solid granite, there
would have been no water well meaning any attacking enemy could have waited for
the castle's water supplies to run out before demanding a surrender.
Grosnez Castle
is a famous Jersey landmark and regularly photographed and is a nice spot to visit
boasting good views across to Guernsey and the other islands. The main gate entrance
is mostly still intact, whilst the less substantial walls on the north side are
mostly gone. The finer details of this castle's design are not known, due to its
age and lack of proper records.
