A monk built the Little Chapel of Guernsey (pictured) in 1914 to create a miniature version of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France, constructing it from donated pieces of china, seashells, and pebbles. The Little Chapel can only fit about eight people and is believed to be the smallest consecrated chapel in the world.

Age structure

2024 population pyramid:
This is the population pyramid for Guernsey. A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide insights about political and social stability, as well as economic development. The population is distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and international migration trends. <br/><br/>For additional information, please see the entry for Population pyramid on the Definitions and Notes page.
