Things to see and do Castel

This is a beautiful fortress(Stutzpunkt Rotenstein by its German name) dating from the time of the German occupation (and renovated since) which was supposed to guard the north of Vazon Bay as part of the Atlantic Wall. To the north, you will see the Martello Tower built in 1804. It is still possible to see remains of the original red granite fort. An interesting visit to imagine the living conditions of the Germans in a bunker.

In the heart of the beautiful park of Saumarez, this small ethnographic museum of the peasantry has been installed in a 19th century granite building. Several old interiors have been reconstructed, with mannequins in situation: a Victorian kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, a child's room, a dairy and a laundry room. You will see an 1896 waxing machine and a 1905 vacuum cleaner, old tools and traditional costumes. A playful visit.

Please don't confuse it with Sausmarez Manor! They are not at all located in the same parish. This is Saumarez Park. It boasts numerous trees, a Japanese garden, a bamboo alley and a rose garden. Every summer, the park hosts the Battle of the Flowers, the Viaër Marchi (old market) festival and the donkey derby. Children can play on large lawns and watch the ducks in the middle of a pond. There's also a playground and a café. It's a wonderful place to relax.
