About WWII Bunker
Kahl-Burg is a remarkably preserved German command bunker from World War II, built in 1942 as part of the Atlantic Wall fortifications following the Allied raid on Dieppe. Carved 20 meters deep into the chalk cliffs of Le Tréport, this underground fortress spans 270 meters of galleries across 4 levels with 32 rooms, including observation posts, combat positions, and a command center with an original 75mm artillery piece still in place. The bunker offers a unique glimpse into the German defensive strategy along the Channel coast, with passionate volunteer guides from the 'Le Mur de la Manche' association bringing its history to life.

The name 'Kahl-Burg' means 'Bald Castle' in German, a fitting description for this fortress carved into the bare limestone cliffs rather than built above ground. The bunker was constructed by approximately 200 workers including local French conscripts and Ukrainian prisoners - many of them women - who endured grueling 10-14 hour shifts. Tragically, about 20 workers died during construction and were buried in the nearby cemetery of Eu.
