The Neolithic passage grave at La Hougue Bie is one of the 10 oldest buildings in the world! During your visit to La Hougue Bie you will discover traces of life in Jersey from Neolithic times to the German Occupation of World War II.

The Neolithic passage grave is one of the 10 oldest buildings in the world (4000–3500 BC). Its ancient chamber was once a sacred space for rituals and ceremonies and was built to align with the rising sun at spring and summer equinox. On top of the prehistoric La Hougue Bie mound is a 16th–century Christian chapel with spectacular views.

The exhibition, ‘Searching for Jersey’s Celts’ is a story about the Le Câtillon II – the world’s largest Celtic coin hoard. You’ll learn what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey 2,000 years ago. Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there

On site is replica Neolithic Longhouse, this 20-metre long replica Longhouse was built over two years by volunteers, with oversight from Ancient Technology expert Luke Winter. Every Tuesday, a member of the volunteer team lights a fire in the Longhouse using authentic techniques and gives you the opportunity to talk to our volunteers about life in the New Stone Age.

You can also visit a German command bunker from World War II and follow the moving story of forced workers brought to Jersey by Organisation Todt.
