Castle Cornet

Guernsey

Perched majestically on a tidal island, this historic fortress has protected St Peter Port since the 13th century. Once a vital military bastion, it now serves as a fascinating museum complex that reveals over 800 years of history. Within its formidable granite walls, visitors can uncover tales of pirates, sieges, and remarkable resilience. The castle complex includes four separate museums and the gorgeous 19th-century gardens, which offer spectacular views of the surrounding seascape. With its daily firing of the noonday gun and historical reenactments, this ancient citadel is an enthralling slice of Guernsey's past brought to life.
