Last weekend I went to Noirmont and then Portlet shortly to take images of the historical German sites it has to offer.

Noirmont is a headland in Saint Brelade enclosing St Aubin’s Bay on the western side.

Noirmont Point and a substantial part of the headland behind it was acquired by the States in 1950 as the Island’s war memorial.

It is a strange irony given its status as a memorial of a war in which Jersey was occupied by the Germans for five years, that probably the main reason for visiting the headland is to view the restored bunkers and gun emplacements of Batterie Lothringen, the only naval coastal artillery battery in the island and part of Hitler’s infamous Atlantic Wall.
