Blockhaus du phare du Cap Ferret, Military bunker in Cap Ferret, France.
The concrete fortification stands near the lighthouse, featuring a wooden cabin on its roof and painted facade for military camouflage purposes.
German forces constructed this bunker in 1943 as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses, designed to accommodate 19 Kriegsmarine soldiers during World War II.
The structure represents the local military heritage and now functions as an educational center showcasing the Atlantic Wall's history in the region.
Located in the lighthouse park, the bunker opens to visitors during lighthouse operating hours with guided tours available through the GRAMASA association.
Between 1944 and 1947, the abandoned bunker served as a storage facility for construction materials during the rebuilding of the adjacent lighthouse.
