History of Victoria Tower
Victoria Tower was built in 1848 to commemorate the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1846; a hugely important visit as it was the first by a reigning monarch.
The tower was also a secret meeting spot for Victor Hugo and his lover Juliette Drouet. Their initials can be seen carefully etched into the tower's imposing walls.
Construction of Victoria Tower
The tower includes different types of stonework and architectural features which were designed to represent the Queen, her empire and her achievements.
It is built largely of red granite from the Guet Quarry at Cobo, on Guernsey's west coast and stands 100 feet high.
Entry information
The key for Victoria Tower can be collected from the Guernsey Museum at Candie (located in Candie Gardens). Visitors are asked to return the key after a 30-minute viewing slot.
Entry to the tower is free.
