No, the image is not where the KL Poker Room is located =) Not at the present time, anyway.

Castle Cornet is a large castle in Guernsey, and former tidal island, which is now part of one of the breakwaters of St Peter Port's harbour, the main one in the island.

Formerly a tidal island, like Lihou on the west coast of Guernsey, it was first fortified as a castle between 1206 and 1256, following the division of the Duchy of Normandy in 1204. In 1339 when a French force captured the island and occupied it for several years, Cornet was besieged, captured and the garrison massacred.

With the advent of cannon and gunpowder, the castle was remodelled between 1545 and 1548. Prof. John Le Patourel, in The Building of Castle Cornet mentions that in 1566, iron and hammers were taken to "Creavissham" (i.e. Crevichon), and that island quarried for the castle.

It served as official residence of the Governor of Guernsey until 1672 when the keep was catastrophically destroyed. A bolt of lightning struck the magazine of the castle, destroying the keep and a number of living quarters. The Governor at the time was Lord Hatton. His mother, wife and a number of members of staff were killed in the explosion.

It became integrated into the breakwater after the period of the Napoleonic Wars.

Along the breakwater, a pond for toy yachts was constructed in 1887 for the jubilee of Queen Victoria, which served as a seaplane base during World War I.

In World War II, it became occupied by a small group of German troops. It was presented to the people of Guernsey in 1945 by the Crown.

Nowadays it incorporates the following museums:
(1) The Story of Castle Cornet
(2) Maritime Museum
(3) 201 Squadron RAF Museum
(4) Royal Guernsey Militia Museum - including artifacts from Royal Guernsey Light Infantry
It also has a restaurant, and hosts outdoor theatre performances during the summer months.

Perhaps, some day, it will also incorporate a home for KL Poker Room members =) One can always wish...
