Description

La Crete Fort. Guns were here in 1813 during the Napoleonic wars and in 1834 it was improved with a guardhouse and new magazine.
It was manned by one officer and 32 other ranks.
In 1848 it housed six 32-pounder cannon, but with the cessation of Anglo-French tensions it lost its military importance.
During the German occupation it housed a 3.7 cm PAK anti-tank gun, one heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, a mortar and a 30cm searchlight manned by three NCOs and 17 other ranks.

Today it is used as holiday accommodation.
