Pomme d'Or Hotel

[2] Following the end of the First World War, the hotel had become dilapidated until 1932 when the Seymour family bought it and renovated it.

[1] When the Germans invaded in 1940, the Pomme d'Or was requisitioned by the Nazis as the Kriegsmarine Naval Headquarters.

[3] During the Liberation of the Channel Islands, soldiers of the British Army climbed to the balcony and removed the Nazi flag and replaced it with the Union Jack.

[4][5] Since then, the act of raising the Union Jack on the hotel balcony has been ceremonially repeated yearly as the focal point for Jersey's Liberation Day celebrations.

[7] In 2012, the Pomme d'Or hosted the British–Irish Council for a discussion on the misuse of drugs in the British Isles.
