Mont Orgueil Castle was Jersey’s major defensive installation for several centuries, and also a central part of island life, housing its garrison, providing a home for theGovernor and a prison. It came under seige on several occasions, both when islanders sought refuge there from invading troops and when forces which had invaded the island were removed from other areas and made a last stand in the castle.
