Givat Brenner Pigeon Coop

The dovecote features multiple nesting compartments arranged in rows across its walls, with specialized entrances designed for carrier pigeons to enter and exit.

The structure served as a breeding facility for carrier pigeons during the Israeli War of Independence in 1948, enabling communication between military forces.

The preservation of this dovecote reflects the agricultural heritage of kibbutz communities and their contribution to Israel's development during the 20th century.

Visitors can access the site throughout the year, with guided tours available that explain the methods of pigeon breeding and message delivery systems.

The dovecote maintains its original architectural elements from the 1940s, including the specialized nesting boxes and observation platforms used by handlers.
