Mont Orgueil overlooking the picturesque harbour at Gorey and the Royal Bay of Grouville is undoubtedly Jersey's most iconic building. It reopened in April 2006 after the completion of a five-year repair and conservation programme. Work on building the castle began in the 13th century - when King John lost control of Normandy - to defend the Island against invasion. A brand new exhibition of 50 exhibits is designed to help visitors understand the castle's history, the medieval world in which it was built and its significance to Jersey over the past 800 years. From the beginning of April to the end of October we have a varied Living history programme.
