The 'Stützpunktgruppe Oostende' was responsible for the defense of the port city towards the interior. Artillery casemates, bunkers, trenches and obstacles have been preserved on the site.

Stutzpunkt Stene, a German field battery from the Second World War on the site of a former brickyard. Together with "field battery Leffinge", it was part of an advanced (three kilometers from the coastline) line of the Atlantic Wall (1942-1944) that, together with the nearby anti-tank canal, served as a so-called land front to protect the port city of Ostend against attacks from the land.
