Victoria Tower, Victorian monument in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey

Victoria Tower is a granite commemorative tower on an earthen mound opposite the Town Arsenal, the building of the Royal Guernsey Militia artillery, now used by the Guernsey Fire and Rescue Service. A public garden surrounds it, where two German 13.5 cm K 09 guns buried in 1940 were excavated in 1978 and put back on display.

A granite stone was laid in 1846 where Queen Victoria first stepped ashore, and architect William Colling drew up plans for a tower the following year. On 27 May 1848 Governor Major General John Bell laid the first foundation stone before a large ceremony, with a time capsule of Guernsey and English coins set in the foundations. The Queen and Prince Albert returned on 14 August 1859 to inspect the tower.

The tower's garden holds two German 13.5 cm K 09 guns buried in 1940 before the German occupation so the island would seem unfortified, then dug up in 1978. Two cannons taken from the Russians in the Crimean War once stood here; they now sit on the ramparts of Castle Cornet.

Visitors can obtain keys from Guernsey Museum to enter and climb the 99 spiral stairs to reach the viewing platform at the top. The ascent requires a reasonable level of fitness but offers views across the town and harbor.

The red granite used in construction came from Guet Quarry at Cobo and was sourced specifically for this project. The land where it stands previously held a windmill and an ancient menhir stone.
