the bunkers

This bunker is a special type 638, built to function as a medical emergency centre during an attack.

The museum has been able to purchase an aggregate, the same type that stood and was used in the bunker during WWII.

There are only two of this type of bunker in the whole Atlantic Wall.

This type 612 gun bunker was equipped with a cannon, mounted on a carriage, that was used to fire parallel to the coastline.

For years, the Administration Office in Huisduinen was a controversial reminder of the wartime in Den Helder. Nowadays new impulses are emerged to keep the memory of the significant period in our history alive.

Almost all the bunkers in the Scheveningen complex are still intact and the Atlantic Wall Museum Scheveningen Foundation has reopened and authentically refurnished the command bunker, the barracks bunker and the toilet bunker.

A tank wall stood along the entire length of Katwijk boulevard as part of the Atlantic Wall during WWII.

This type 502 barracks bunker is unique in that its roof is equipped with a Flakbedding - a type of anti-aircraft weapon.

This gun emplacement was built between the two world wars and consisted of three gun emplacements with ammunition storage areas and a personnel shelter.
