A site housing a battery, the largest in Normandy, discovered by Gary Sterne, the landowner.
An astonishing site, around which controversy has been rife. In 2006, Gary Sterne, the English owner of the land, claimed to have discovered "one of the most important German batteries in Normandy". Historians denounced this as a "sensational pseudo-discovery". In any case, this German battery, which seems to have been forgotten for almost 60 years, was part of the Atlantic Wall.

Heel interessant, toevallig vandaag 9 juni een herdenkingsplechtigheid compleet met doedelzakken,vlagvertoon en kranslegging
Enige minpuntje zijn de aanwezige toiletten, extreem smerig

Die Maisy Battery ist von den ganzen Batteriestellungen eine der besten, da sie sehr authentisch ist. Ja, es stimmt, es kann sehr matschig sein und es ist nicht alles super erhalten. Das liegt aber daran, dass sie erst vor ein paar Jahren wieder entdeckt und ausgegraben worden ist, bzw. noch wird!
Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Hier werden auch nicht Massen von Touristen in Bussen hingefahren.

Fascinating visit to a site literally buried, both physically and documents by the allies after the Americans failed to find and neutralise on D day. Found by the owner who bought pieces of land from lots of different farmers and excavated it all. Incredibly researched and documented and presented.

Leider nicht zu bewerten, da seit dem 1.10.23 bis Anfang 24 geschlossen. Sehr schade.

This time round, I decided to visit anyway and decide for myself. I can quite confidently say that this place is a must visit and should definitely be on the top of your list when visiting Normandy for WWII sites.
The premises was uncovered by British Historian Gary Sterne (Google It) - and it shows what the defence location would have been like during D-Day. A map was handed out to us in English that explained on the finds and routes too!
Hopefully they have a museum built so that the findings can be displayed in a nicer format (rather than the hut) - but I understand there are some political barriers in the way at this stage.
A must visit.
