Adjacent to the road leading to the lighthouse; look for the signs. This is the only coastal defence bunker in the St. Ouen’s Bay area to retain its original gun, and contains many other contemporary fixtures and fittings. At the ‘sharp end’ is the 1918 vintage 10.5cm K331(f) weapon, which is actually French in origin, being among many captured by the Germans in 1940, and subsequently converted to fortress use in the Channel Islands.

The gun had a range of 10-12 km and was part of a network of similar weapons along the coast whose purpose was to prevent the formation of a beachhead in the event of an Allied invasion. Although never used in anger, the bunker presents an interesting picture of life for the ordinary soldier, and features several photographic exhibitions and displays.
