Castle Cornet is a 13th-century island castle featuring gardens and outdoor performance space, as well as museums chronicling the fortress’s rich history. The fortress, which was built atop Cornet Rock, acted as a space defense and a barrier for St Peter Port’s port. Castle Cornet included a keep, courtyards, curtain walls, and a chapel and was built between 1206 and 1256. Other museums on the premises include the Maritime Museum, the Royal Guernsey Militia Museum, and the 201 Squadron RAF Museum. In the summer, you may visit the castle for a guided tour, view the historical gardens, or witness an outdoor play.
