Jersey War Tunnels, History museum in Saint Lawrence, Jersey.
The Jersey War Tunnels extend over 1000 meters underground, featuring exhibits about the German occupation during World War II in multiple connected galleries.
Between 1941 and 1944, more than 5000 forced laborers excavated these tunnels 40 meters deep to create an underground hospital with a capacity of 500 beds.
The museum presents personal stories of Jersey inhabitants during wartime through authentic artifacts, photographs, documents, and multimedia installations from the occupation period.
The museum provides wheelchair access throughout the facility and supplies visitors with identity cards to follow individual stories of islanders during their exploration.
The underground complex includes a Garden of Reflection, research library, and escape game courses that allow visitors to experience aspects of wartime life.

This collection highlights viewpoints in Jersey where landscapes can be appreciated. These locations provide perspectives on nature and are suitable for visitors who enjoy photography and natural scenery.
Jersey features a history that spans from the Neolithic period to World War II. On this Channel Island, visitors can explore Mont Orgueil Castle, a 13th-century fortress overlooking Gorey, and Elizabeth Castle, a 16th-century fort accessible by a causeway covered at high tide. The War Tunnels, a one-kilometer underground network built between 1940 and 1945, illustrate the period of German occupation. La Hougue Bie hosts a 6,000-year-old burial site topped with two medieval chapels. The island also offers natural areas such as Saint-Brelade Beach, maritime collections at the Jersey Museum, and local products available at La Mare Wine Estate or the Anglo-Normandian Islands Distillery. The Jersey Zoo, established in 1959, is dedicated to protecting endangered species over 13 hectares. These sites help understand the island's history, from its earliest inhabitants to maritime activities that have shaped Jersey up to the present.
