Fort Regent, Military fortification on Mont de la Ville, Saint Helier, Jersey
Fort Regent spans across Mont de la Ville with substantial curtain walls, ditches, bastions, and redans overlooking Elizabeth Castle and Saint Helier harbor.
The construction of Fort Regent began in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars, employing 800 workers and Royal Engineers before completion in 1814.
The site contained a prehistoric dolmen, discovered in 1785 during ground leveling, which was later transported to Field Marshal Conway's estate.
The fortress operates as a leisure center since 1967, featuring multiple sports facilities and entertainment venues accessible through pathways from Saint Helier.
Engineers created a deep well shaft between 1806 and 1808, drilling through granite to establish one of Jersey's deepest water sources.
