Wn272 Immortel
Fast disappearing bunker site with rare water storage building
Wn272 Immortel site overview
What to see
Located to the south west of the village of Ecault on the edge of a large forest area, Wn272 Immortel is slowly being swallowed by a growing holiday park and expansion of the village, but there are still concrete buildings you can see.
The largest, and perhaps rarest too, is a special construction Mehrkhammer Wasserbehalter bunker (MKWB) water storage building which featured three large chambers for storing drinking water.
Today the building has been sealed and is used by a colony of bats.
At Wn272 there are also the remains of a R502 group shelter – now the foundations of a house – two Michelmannstand heavy matchine gun positions, a Vf2a shelter, and a small ammunition storage bunker.
The campsite owners aren’t fans of the public walking around the site looking at the bunkers so please seek permission from the main reception before visiting.
