Lewis Tower, Jersey, Martello tower in St Ouen's Bay, Jersey
Lewis Tower spans three levels with an elliptical shape, containing thicker walls facing the sea and a central pillar with a circular spiral staircase.
Built in 1835 under Colonel Griffith Lewis leadership, the tower formed part of Jersey's coastal defenses against potential French invasion threats.
The tower represents British military engineering traditions, incorporating Martello design principles adapted to Jersey's defensive requirements in the 19th century.
The tower provides basic accommodation for six people with electricity and camp beds, requiring visitors to bring sleeping bags and food provisions.
During World War II, German forces added a concrete extension at the tower base for a searchlight installation and constructed an adjacent military bunker.
