    This battery was further from the coast and less visible than that of Crisbecq and was built a short distance from the village because of the possibility of disguising the casemates as houses. The battery was equipped with 105mm guns, with no sea sight. The soldiers had a good time in the bunker that was furnished with a casino with bar, stage and girls of fun. The water reservoir served as a swimming pool. The complex is very well preserved, especially the underground passages are almost completely intact. Apart from the design, you can also see what effect the impact of a 356mm shell from the Nevada had on the battery.

        Anyone interested in the Second World War can get a very interesting insight into the structure, function and life in a coastal defense battery.
        Tours can be taken here with an audio guide in various languages (including German).
        It's worth it and the entrance fee of €8 per person (as of May 2024) is absolutely fair.
