A very interesting place, especially if you're looking at WW2 sites - this very well preserved site is definitely worth visiting. The German forces were certainly well organised... this huge gun station bombed England during WW2. See various displays and find out all about what happened here. Good value and definitely worth a visit!

Great museum and well worth a visit.. Has one of only two in existence K5 cannons... one here and one in the USA. the museum has many historical pieces and factual information for you to see so you can easily spend a couple of hours here.. Large car park and toilet facilities outside of the museum... and a ticket and gift shop inside.

I know many people have already said it is well worth the visit, it really is. Don't be fooled by the exterior. Inside this bunker is a massive collection or artifacts on multiple floors. It seemed to go on forever. Make sure you follow the arrows so you don't miss anything. Everything is written in French, English and German. It's certainly a place I will visit again and it's just a short drive south along the coastal road from calais.

I was not disappointed by this museum. The bunker itself is very interesting and there's a collection of war-related objects such as uniforms, vehicles and cannons. We spend about an hour here. We really appreciated that the signs were in English ánd Dutch, although there were some errors in the translation.

Unfassbar! Ein großer Tipp: bevor ihr das Museum besucht, nehmt euch die Zeit und lauft erst zu den anderen 3 Großen Bunkern. Denn dann versteht ihr im Museum woher die Sprüche und weiteres kamen. Der Eintritt kostet keine 10,-€. Öffnen tut es in der Woche um 10:00 Uhr. Bezahlen kann man in Bar oder per Karte. ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden und sogar ein Campingplatz für Nächtigende. Äh

Great museum. Really interesting, and worth the visit

Really nice place to understanad Alantic Wall. The treasured K5 is mazing, even I read it from books and made plastic model. The battery has couple bunkers aound and it is a nice place for walking around as well. You will enjoy the view. Near by, Audresselles is a very nice village to visit and enjoy lunch. Recommand you to visit it before 12 o'clock. Otherwise, it's too populer to park your car.

Fantastic museum. Small enough to not be overwhelming, large enough to be worth a visit. Excellent presentation and exhibits

Tolles Museum, dass die Geschichte lebendig werden lässt. Die Geschichte rund um die Anlage, der deutschen Besatzungszeit und die Befreiung durch kanadische Einheiten wird in beeindruckender Art und Weise erzählt. Die Ausstellung ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail zusammengestellt. Man spürt deutlich die Enge und bedrückende Atmosphäre innerhalb des Bunkers. Der Besuch lohnt sich.

Museeum in an old ww2 bunker. The rail cannon is really unique, but very few items are originally from the site. It seems certain that this bunker was plundered after the war and that the entire exhibition is pieced together from whatever fit the bill. If I had not been at the Cannon Museeum in Kristiansand, Norway and seen another part of the Atlantic Wall with everything intact, I might have been more impressed?

Wer sich für den 2. Weltkrieg interessiert hat hier viele tolle Sachen zusehen. Für Leute wie mich, mit Puppenphobie schwierig zu begehen.🤣

Definitely one to see so informative takes about an hour to go round plenty of free parking and gift shop where you can get a coffee

Dieser Bunker ist ein Mahnmal! Ich habe diesen Ort beim Ausflug zum Cap zufällig entdeckt. Von der Straße sieht man einen Betonklotz, wie es in dieser Gegend viele in unterschiedlichen Größen gibt. Auf Grund des großen Parkplatzes und der Beschriftung mit Museum wurde ich neugierig mehr zu erfahren. Ich sage nur: Dieser Ort ist ein absolutes MUSS wenn man in der Gegend ist. Die alte Stellung ist liebevoll restauriert worden und hat zahlreiche Exponate aus der Zeit des 2. WK. Erst am Ausgang erfährt man, das es ein rein privates Museum ist, welches keine Gelder vom Staat erhält. Vielleicht ist der Eintritt deswegen etwas mehr als bei staatlichen Museen aber es ist wirklich gut angelegt. Das beeindruckende Gebäude wird immer größer wenn darin ist. Allein zwei Etagen nach unten, mit Aufenthaltsräumen, Werkstätten und sogar einer Zahnarztpraxis. Strom wurde mit einem eigenen Generator erzeugt, so das der Betrieb völlig autark lief. Allein der Gedanke an die Logistik in einer Zeit ohne Internet und Funktelefon zeigt, das vieles auch ohne moderne Technik zu bewerkstelligen ist. Alles in allem ist natürlich der traurige Hintergrund ein solches Bauwerk zu erstellen zu keiner Sekunde zu vergessen. NIE WIEDER KRIEG!

Ein sehr schönes Museum direkt in diesem Bunker. Neben verschiedenen Waffen, und anderen Alltagsgegenständen aus dieser Zeit, kann man den Alltag der Besatzung erleben. Geschichte zum Anfassen..! Eintritt kostet ca 8 ,-€. Bezahlen kann man in Bar oder per Karte. Ausreichend Parkplätze sind vorhanden, und sogar ein Campingplatz.

It's a well preserved iconic WW2 nazi megastructure that gives an idea of the war with England. There are many attributes on display. What I took away from this was what a Czech hedgehog, a Belgian gate and Rommel's asparagus is. Though I am missing information on how the Krupp K5 and the FLAK 88 world. Also, translations were not always on point. I do highly recommend a visit. The shop also has neat items

I really enjoyed our visit, a lot of history out there

This is a private museum, very well run and informative, details in French, English, German & Dutch

Very interesting preparation of the building combining history and nice side face to present the visitor a great experience.

Great visit. Easy parking. Great exhibits - wish there was some more information about the guns themselves, maybe some models, and more information on the other case mates of the battery which are nearby but are not legally accessible

Museum is in a preserved gun casement (casement number 1), one of the four cadements of the Todt gun battery. It's a shame that the gun, once capable of hitiing southern England, is no longer there, but it allows more exhibit space! Three levels of well presented info show life of navy personnel (Kriegsmarine) who crewed the batteries. Interesting WW2 German graffiti can be seen, some poking fun at Churchill, others are illustrated patriotic slogans. The original graffiti is/was in another casement. Outside the museum are some more exhibits , most impressive the K5 railway gun which still points at England. There were eight of these mobile titans stationed in the Calais area. The gun battery, inaugurated in February 1942, was originally designed to offer support for an invasion of England not as a defensive measure. The guns were huge 380mm naval weapons, the same as fitted on the Bismark and Tirpitz. Few Allied ships were hit by the German coatal batteries (a Liberty ship on D-Day, a freighter in July 1944) but they provided covering fire, shortly after their inauguration, for German warships racing through the Channel into the North Sea, an engagement known ad the Channel Dash. Their impact on civilians in the Dover area was greater, resulting in 216 deaths. The guns fired on Dover the last time on 29 September 1944 while under attack from Canadian forces. The Canadian assault resulted in the surrender of the whole battery. It's worth checking out the other 2 casements nearby (numbers 2 and 4), all the same design. They're in reasonable shape still but it's not recommended going inside as they could be unsafe. Bring a torch if you do! Casement 3 was blown up in an accident by two French visitors in 1945! Museum has a small shop with souvenirs and some specialist books in various languages about the Atlantic Wall generally. One criticism would be that the museum doesn't look at the whole Atlantic Wall despite its name; it's very much focussed on the Todt Battery. A word to the wise: don't arrive shortly before closing! As we came out at 5.29pm, a woman was refused admittance despite her protests that it wasn't too late! A curt Gallic "Non" ended the encounter seconds before the minute hand struck 5.30...

An excellent battery museum with displays relating to the construction, operation and subsequent fall of the battery. Plus they have a massive railway gun on display outside.

My second visit to this amazing museum! The Railway gun is one of two remaining pieces in the world, crazy! Must visit!

By far the most interesting museum of all the bunkers. Yes, you pay the admission fee, but you can go inside and see how actually was inside. Well worth the money.

Didn't go in this time as I visited just before COVID closed down the entire universe. Parked in the coach area along with lots of other Camping-Cars. Day parking only is a shame as there could be money to be made charging €5 or so to park up...😉

Certainly a place to go to. You will get a very good overview of the defense of the German army during the Second World War.

Nice museum, with of course a special treat, the railgun leopold

Interesting. But the gun has been removed from its berth. So... Pretty interesting but the main focus was absent. A large gun on rail is stationed outside... But it's not the same.

A good place to visit to get an idea of the sheer scale of the Atlantik Wal. Also Nice for the crazy novelties such as the massive bunker and the enormous railway gun (which is actually a smaller calibre than the one that was actually installed in the bunker in ww2...).

Full of a sad recent history show us how evil can be intelligent. It's a huge bunker with all the conditions to survive to almost everything. It took several days bombing the place for the Germans to surrender. It has a lot of artefacts from that sad time. A must-visit if you around Normandy for D Day knowledge.

What a great place to visit if you love ww2. The staff were very friendly and polite and expland what to do during our visit. You get to walk around on your own following the arrows. You could rush round in 35 mins or take your time and will take 120mins. Toilets available. You follow the arrows round. I definitely recommend going here and it's not far from calais, about 20 mins. Plenty of parking for cars and motorcycles. Also there is a gift shop.
