  • Batterie Heuqueville in Normandy is one of the most remarkable bunker sites remaining on the Atlantikwall.
    This gun batterie was designed to be a clifftop defence featuring a planned six open emplacements for 10.5cm guns capable of engaging with ships in the English Channel north of Le Havre.
    And while there is a lot of buildings around the site including shelters, ammunition stores, and a huge Fire Control post, the only evidence to be found for the guns is one large circular ring of concrete which would have been the location of just one emplacement.
    However, it’s the clifftop Fire Control Post observation bunker which attracts the most attention here. Overhanging the 100m high cliffs due to years of erosion, the front observation area of the large bunker looks precariously balanced and access to it isn’t recommended.
    The reason the FCP hasn’t crashed down to the beach below is because it’s just one small part of a much larger building which - for now - is firmly rooted to the cliffs, keeping the whole structure in place.
    This bunker features the observation and range finding room at the front with further rooms behind for an office, plotting and computing rooms, a communications centre, and officer/troop room.
    Please note, the cliff area is very dangerous and the pathway to the FCP is right on the cliff edge and so access is forbidden. Our shots were taken from a safe distance via our drone. The other buildings are all on private land and permission must be sought before visiting.

    Bonjour, incroyable, voir ce bunker s'accrocher à cette falaise comme si il ne voulait pas disparaître, dommage que personne n'ait pensé à essayer de le sauver, je pense que chaque année son destin se rapproche de la fin malheureusement.

    I wonder if it can be preserved but the erosion will eventually claim it.

    That's a remarkable sight! Shame it isn't safe to enter, I'd imagine the inside would be a treat to explore. Thanks for the video!

    Perfectly counter balanced as the concrete all poured in one hit super strong for now 👍🇬🇬

    Would be nice if you could spell La Havre correctly at the beginning. But yeah, great shots.

    Another fine drone video. I'm sure not the intention of the original builders, but it now takes on the appearance of a Frank Lioyd Wright design.

    They need to find a way to prevent it from collapsing.
