The battery was built by German personnel. It has two tunnels, one that is finished and leads via a staircase up to the control bunker ('leitstand'). There are three entrances to this tunnel, one through the 'leitstand' and two directly in with gas-proof panzer doors. One of these entrances is closed with rubbish. Parts of the battery, including the finished tunnel and 'leitstand' is partly restored and cleaned up, and is accessible to the public for a small fee. Original artwork for firing control/-distances in the terrain can still be seen inside the 'leitstand'. The other tunnel is nearly finished, but not concreted, and with a large shaft in it, the purpose of which is unknown. This bunker was supposed to be the accommodation quarters, with barracks built in the large hall.
