• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Castles & Stately Homes in St Martin, JSY, Channel Islands.
Dating back to the 13th century, this castle has seen calm as well as storm. Both the Normans and the French recognized the value of occupying the Channel Islands, and used this area at separate times. The sea and cliffs provided protection on three sides of Mont Orgueil Castle, making it a very strategic military location. Today the castle is well maintained and offers an awe-inspiring photographic opportunity. Open all year (hours vary), also called Gorey Castle.
