Fort Hommet 10.5 cm Coastal Defence Gun Casement Bunker, German coastal defense bunker in Castel, Guernsey.

The military installation features a 10.5 cm gun casemate with multiple chambers, including ammunition storage, crew quarters, and protective ventilation systems.

German forces constructed this fortification between 1940 and 1945 as part of Hitler's Atlantic Wall defense strategy to protect occupied Channel Islands.

The bunker stands as an educational center where visitors learn about the German occupation of Guernsey through preserved military equipment and installations.

Located on Vazon Bay headland, the restored bunker opens to public visits twice per week during afternoons from April through October.

This installation represents one of 21 similar structures built on Guernsey, featuring original design elements from World War II military architecture.
