Crisbecq Battery, World War II military museum in Saint-Marcouf, France
The Crisbecq Battery contains multiple concrete bunkers, artillery positions, and underground passages spread across a fortified coastal position covering several acres.
German forces constructed this defensive position between 1943 and 1944 as part of the Atlantic Wall to protect against Allied naval attacks.
The museum exhibits display original military equipment, personal items from soldiers, and photographs documenting daily life during the German occupation of France.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages from April through September, with special extended hours during summer months and D-Day anniversary events.
The site maintains three massive 210mm gun casemates, which were capable of firing shells weighing 135 kilograms up to 27 kilometers into the English Channel.
