Fire control bunker

The 38 cm guns were controlled from the large fire control bunker located on the edge of the foreland, about 250 m northeast of museum bunker.

The bunker, German construction No. 1100 L, has 1-2 m thick walls and ceilings. Work on the bunker began in February 1941 and in the second half of May 1941 the concrete was poured. However, the big bunker was not completely furnished until December 1941. Until then, the firing of the battery was led from a temporary fire control station, which was demolished when the large bunker came into use.

The bunker has two floors, and had a 10.5-meter rangefinder placed in a large, rotating armored dome. In the bunker's top floor was the calculation room where bearings and distance measurements were converted into firing data. The bunker's lower floor was the living quarters for the crew, containing also bathrooms and toilets.
