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.
