Widerstandsnest 26 and 27 at the Lewis Tower at St Ouen’s Bay – Jersey, United Kingdom

Widerstandsnest 26 Lewis Tower

At Widerstandsnest 26 Lewis Tower is a little museum on the defensive position at St Ouens Bay. At the site are two WakoFest Gruppenunterstands and a Regelbau 606 bunker for 60 cm searchlight and crew. A 3,7 cm field gun in a small Wellblech garage at the base of the Lewis tower. A WaKoFest bunker for a 4,7 cm K 36 (t) anti-tank gun integrated in the anti-tank wall. A Jägerbunker for 10,5 cm French Skoda gun and a FA understand. The Jägerstand is turned into a museum. A Renault FT tank turret is placed on top, it was originally at the Widerstandsnest though.

W27, Widerstandsnest 27 – Beach Entrance

Lying next to Widerstandsnest 26 is Widerstandsnest 27, the beach entrance. This is the location of the integrated WaKoFest 4,7 cm PaK anti-tank bunker.

Visit

Unfortunately at our arrival the museum was closed, it is open during tourist season in summertime. A car park gives you easy access to the Widerstandsnest. Some of the bunkers are open so bring a torch.
