Listed building or place reference: BR0348 Historic site reference Property St. Aubin's Fort Road name St. Aubin's Bay Parish St. Brelade LocationView on map Grade Listed Building Grade 1 Category Castles and forts Statement of significance St Aubin's Fort is one of Jersey's most important fortifications. It has been remodelled and updated periodically over the past 400 years and demonstrates the development of military architecture from the Tudor period to German WWII defences. Context n/a External Description St Aubin's Fort was begun as a gun tower in 1542 (the earliest surviving defence works in St Aubin's Bay), but was enlarged in the 1730s by adding a curtain wall with bastions and redans at the mid-points in the French manner. The tower was remodelled to form a keep; its internal structure now resembles that of a Martello and the machicoules are very similar to those on Conway towers, suggesting late 18th and early 19th century modifications. A later addition was the traversing platform with embrasure at the top of the tower, and a vaulted magazine in the ward below. The Pier was rebuilt between 1680-1700 and the wharf quay completed about 1800. During the German Occupation, various concrete anti aircraft and sea defences were constructed including a Strong Point near the North West Bastion.
