Mont Orgueil Castle - deserving its name...


Le château de Mont Orgueil mérite bien son nom ... il surplombe fièrement le port de Gorey sur l'ïle de Jersey. La construction a été entreprise à la suite de la division du duché de Normandie en 1204 et a été mentionné pour la 1ère fois en 1212. C'était la principale défense de Jersey jusqu'au développement de la poudre à canon, à ce moment-là il était remplacé par le château Elizabeth de Saint-Hélier.
L'ancien château a continué d'être utilisé comme seule prison de l'île jusqu'à la construction d'une prison à Saint-Hélier à la fin du 17e siècle. Aujourd'hui, le site du patrimoine est géré par le Jersey Heritage Trust et est ouvert au public.

The castle of Mont Orgueil proudly overlooks the port of Gorey on the island of Jersey. Its construction was undertaken following the division of the Duchy of Normandy in 1204 and was first mentioned in 1212. It was Jersey's main defence until the development of gunpowder, so at that time there it was replaced by the Elizabeth Castle of Saint-Hélier.
The old castle continued to be used as the island's only prison until the construction of a prison in Saint-Hélier at the end of the 17th C. Today, the heritage site is managed by the Jersey Heritage Trust and is open to the public.
