History
Grosnez Castle is a ruined 14th-century castle in Saint Ouen, situated on the Grosnez headland in the north-west corner of the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. None of the castle's history was known before the late nineteenth century when archaeological excavations were carried out to remove large quantities of rubble which covered all of the present ruins other than the top of the gatehouse.
