Channel Fortified Gorey Jersey Mont Orgueil Overlooks Pier Prehistoric Promenade Undertaken
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Mont Orgueil Castle in Jersey, overlooking the picturesque harbor of Gorey. The castle, which had been fortified since the prehistoric period, underwent significant construction following the division of the Duchy of Normandy in 1204. First mentioned in 1212, Mont Orgueil stands proudly atop a hill, its imposing presence a testament to the rich history of the Channel Islands. The scene is further enlivened by the bustling activity on the promenade below, where people stroll along the pier, enjoying the fresh sea air and the beautiful surroundings. The quaint houses lining the harbor add to the charm of this idyllic coastal scene. Circa 1900, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of castles, harbors, and simple pleasures.
