Kriegsmarine Peilstand und Messtellung 1, Naval observation tower MP 1 at Noiront Point – Saint Brélade, Jersey – United Kingdom

This Naval observation tower was connected to the Coastal Batterie Lothringen. It is one of the three unique observation towers that were constructed on the Island of Jersey. This Coastal Battery from the Kriegsmarine was situated on the Noiront Point of the Channel Island. The concrete tower is 16 meters high and has six levels. The bottom five consist of a windowless lower floor and four floors with viewing slits. Each of these rooms could guide the fire of a single 15 cm gun in the Lothringen Battery. On top was an open rooftop with a 2 cm Anti-Aircraft gun. A personnel bunker was directly next to it.
