Battery Lothringen

Battery Lothringen was a World War II shore battery in Saint Brélade, Jersey, named for SMS Lothringen, and built by the Todt Foundation for the Wehrmacht during the occupation of the Channel Islands. The first installation was completed in 1941, around the same time as the completion of the nearby Moltke Battery, in St.Ouen.

The battery is located at the end of Noirmont Point, a rocky headland overlooking St. Aubin, Elizabeth Castle, and Saint Helier's harbor. It was part of the coastal fortifications system of the Atlantic Wall, and most of the concrete structure remains to this day. The 3rd battery of the Navy 604th Artillery Battalion was stationed here.

The site overlooks La Tour de Vine's 19th-century Martello tower. This is the black and white tower that can be seen in the photo on the right. The tower is painted to serve as a daytime landmark. There is no easy walkway from the battery to the tower. Battery Lothringen is the sixth most beautiful historical site in Jersey.
