Why this matters

The Tower of Sark is a medieval tower house located on the island of Sark in the Channel Islands, not in Scotland, and was originally built by the de Carteret family in the 12th century. It is historically significant as the seat of the Seigneur of Sark and as a symbol of the island's unique feudal heritage and governance.
