La Hougue Bie Museum

La Hougue Bie Museum, Jersey

La Hougue Bie Museum

Open March - November


Image placeholder

 

Hidden in Jersey’s eastern countryside is La Hougue Bie Museum, one of Europe’s finest prehistoric monuments.

At the heart of the tranquil site stands a medieval church atop a prehistoric mound and dolmen, under which lies a 6,000-year-old Neolithic passage grave.

Unlike many other dolmens you can actually stand inside the chamber and discover the heart of this place of worship.

There is a fascinating geology and archaeology museum on site which contains coin hoards, axes, swords and spears belonging to Jersey’s Neolithic community.

La Hougue Bie is also home to a command bunker built during the German Occupation of Jersey and a memorial dedicated to the slave-workers brought to the Channel Islands by invading Nazi forces during the Second World War.

There is a large picnic area where you can enjoy a day out amongst the beautiful surroundings of this peaceful and spiritual site.

Top 5 things to do at La Hougue Bie

  • Be sure to visit the Neolithic tomb which is older than the pyramids
  • Experience the new Ice Age Island Project
  • Climb the hill to see the Medieval Chapel
  • Take some time to reflect at the slave worker memorial
  • Visit the Archaeology Museum which tells the story of Islanders from ¼ million years ago up to the end of the Roman period
