Atlantikwall-Museum shows a bunker from the inside

In a gun bunker on the Noorderpier, objects, dioramas, a bunker cinema and the shell-case cellar depict the Atlantic Wall around Hoek van Holland.

Plan your visit ↗

The gun room at the core

Look at position, wall thickness and the view outside, and ask which function is documented for this type of bunker. Do not fill in missing installations in your imagination.

Film and diorama

The bunker cinema and scale models provide an overview, but they are means of presentation. Compare their explanations with an object or construction detail in the bunker itself.

Shell cases under the floor

The cellar and excavated finds show another layer of the complex. Pay attention to find spot, conservation and label before you reconstruct how things were used.

Before you go

Only on announced Sundays from April to October inclusive, 12.30–17.00. The exact dates for 2026 had not yet been fully published; check the calendar. The bunker has stairs, has poor accessibility and has no toilet facilities.
