Mont Orgueil Castle
Mont Orgueil Castle, or Gorey Castle, has cast its imposing shadow over the beautiful fishing port of Gorey for more than 800 years. One of the finest examples of a medieval fortress in existence, Mont Orgueil is also a symbol of Jersey’s national identity and independent character.

More Information
Take in breathtaking views of the French coast as you delve into the network of staircases, towers and secret rooms to discover hidden treasures. Explore the network of staircases, towers and secret rooms to discover gruesome tales and hidden treasures. Learn the story of the castle through specially commissioned artwork, climb the turrets to find the medieval ‘wheel of urine’, and make your way if you dare into the cellar to study the 'witchcraft' exhibit. High on the battlements, with their commanding view of the surrounding hillsides and distant French coast, stand shoulder to shoulder with wooden soldiers who ‘guard’ the castle. Children under six go free.
We are open all year round.

Ghost Stories by Candlelight
This December, members of the Jersey Youth Performing Arts (JYPA) will bring to life some of Jersey’s most enduring ghost stories at Mont Orgueil Castle. Telling ghost stories during winter is a hallowed tradition, a folk custom that stretches back centuries to a time when families would while away the dark nights with tales of spooks and monsters.
