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

Battery Lothringen is a World War II coastal artillery battery at the end of Noirmont Point, built by Organisation Todt for the Wehrmacht. Its four 15 cm SK L/45 naval guns, made by Krupp in 1917, stood on elevated concrete platforms; two partly restored guns are displayed today. A round MP1 observation tower about 16 metres tall and a restored Type M.132 command bunker, now a seasonal museum, stand alongside the gun emplacements.

Organisation Todt constructed this naval artillery battery in 1941 as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses, naming it after the SMS Lothringen vessel. The installation remained operational throughout the war and demonstrates the engineering achievements and defensive strategies of the occupation period.

The site is maintained by the Channel Islands Occupation Society, which displays original weapons and structures from the German occupation period. Walking through the bunkers and gun positions, visitors can understand how German forces monitored this stretch of coast.

The visit works best in dry weather, as paths cross open grassland and cliff-edge areas. Wear sturdy shoes and allow time to explore the various gun positions and bunkers at a leisurely pace.

The MP1 observation tower stands 16 meters tall and contains multiple observation floors where German forces monitored maritime traffic. This multi-story structure provided comprehensive views of the coastline, allowing precise targeting coordination for the battery.
