Blockhaus du fort d'Aleth, German military fortification in Saint-Malo, France.

The concrete blockhouse stands as part of Fort d'Aleth, featuring reinforced walls designed to withstand enemy attacks during wartime operations.

German forces constructed this defensive structure in 1943 to control maritime traffic and protect their positions along the French Atlantic coast.

The blockhouse represents a significant example of World War II military architecture and serves as an educational site about coastal defense systems.

Visitors can reach the blockhouse through guided tours departing from Saint-Malo, with information panels explaining its military functions.

In 2021, French heritage authorities designated this blockhouse as an endangered monument requiring special preservation measures.
