The gate house of Saint Ouen's Manor in 2009.

St. Ouen's Manor is a manor house in the parish of St. Ouen, Jersey, and is the traditional home of the Seigneur of St. Ouen, and the ancestral home of the De Carteret family.[1][2]

The earliest record of the house dates from 1135.[3]

As a part of the 1940 Jersey local elections, the manor was offered to the victor, Edward Campbell. However, Campbell became disillusioned with the idea, and declined.[4]

The house and grounds remain intact today, and the house is a private home for the De Carteret family. It is occasionally open to the public.
