Prevote Tower/ Naval direction-finding tower MP 5
Guernsey Torteval GG
See directions
This is one of six Marinepeilstände (MP) observation towers that were built on high points. They are the most obvious symbol of German construction. Each observation slit of a tower observed for one particular battery and was fitted with range finding equipment.
MP 5 was fitted with granite on the outside of the concrete to resemble a Martello tower, a fortification built in the 19th century in many places on Guernsey.
