点评:The most magnificent medieval castle run by a team who clearly love the place very much.
As a hobby historian visiting Jersey for the first time I went to visit this beautiful castle (the best castle in the island imo) on our last day. We spent around 3 hours there but wished I’d allowed longer. It’s one of the most complete medieval castles I’ve seen with full rooms to see, interesting information, artefacts and living history! The surrounding scenery and wildlife is beautiful and the quaint restaurants by the bay are perfect for a lazy and tasty lunch.
We met the most enchanting healer and educated woman by the name of Marie Esnouf who was sadly convicted & executed as a witch back in 1648. Cracking storyteller, a lifelong islander through and through, and as it happened a true descendant of the real Marie Esnouf. This is history at its best! Could have talked to her for hours.
This place is not to be missed, young or old it is a magical gem!
翻译:这座最宏伟的中世纪城堡由一支热爱这里的团队管理。
作为一名业余历史学家,我第一次访问泽西岛,在最后一天参观了这座美丽的城堡(在我看来,它是岛上最好的城堡)。我们在那里待了大约3个小时,但真希望自己能待得更久一些。这是我见过的最完整的中世纪城堡之一,房间里满是展品,还有引人入胜的信息、文物和鲜活的历史!周围的景色和野生动物美不胜收,海湾边古色古香的餐厅非常适合享用悠闲美味的午餐。
我们遇到了一位名叫玛丽·埃斯诺夫的迷人治疗师和受过良好教育的女性,她于1648年不幸被判定为女巫并被处决。她是一位才华横溢的讲故事者,一位彻头彻尾的岛民,而且碰巧是真正的玛丽·埃斯诺夫的后裔。这是最精彩的历史!我可以和她聊上几个小时。
这个地方不容错过,无论老少,它都是一块神奇的宝石!
