The 6-inch Coastal Battery at Lehtma Fortification

The battery, which was completed in 1916, was located 3 km of Lehtma Port in the direction of Tahkuna with four 6-inch Canet’ guns on wooden platforms. The emplacements of three guns are still identifiable – one has a full bolt circle and the two others show some base baulk bolts. The fourth gun together with the entire ammunition of the battery was blown up in 1917 and only a large crater remains. Behind the battery in the woods there are plenty of shelter craters, a well and foundations of buildings. Solid drainage ditches still work. There was a railway connection with Lehtma Port.
