Batterie de Zuydcoote, Military fortress in Leffrinckoucke, France.
The Batterie de Zuydcoote stands on the French coast, constructed entirely of yellow bricks and integrated into the natural dunes of the region.
Built between 1877 and 1878 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, this fortification protected Dunkirk from potential attacks from the eastern sea passage.
The fortress represents French military engineering of the 19th century, featuring original design elements such as casemates and observation posts.
Located at coordinates 51.061629, 2.448104, visitors can access the site while walking along the beach between Zuydcoote and Bray-Dunes.
The battery maintained its original brick structure without concrete modernization, preserving the authentic military architecture of the late 1800s.
