Battery Lothringen, World War II artillery battery at Noirmont Point, Saint Brelade, Jersey.

Battery Lothringen contains four concrete gun platforms with 15cm naval guns positioned on elevated structures overlooking St Aubin's Bay and Elizabeth Castle.

Organisation Todt constructed this German naval battery in 1941 as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses, naming it after the SMS Lothringen vessel.

The Channel Islands Occupation Society maintains the site, recovering and displaying original weapons while preserving structures from the German occupation period.

Visitors can access the restored command bunker, observation tower, and gun emplacements through a network of paths starting from Gun Number One.

The MP1 naval tower reaches 16 meters high and contains multiple observation floors where German forces monitored maritime traffic during World War II.
