Description

The Atlantikwall Museum Noordwijk is a series of bunkers from the Second World War. The Noordwijk Battery consisted of a fire control bunker, artillery bunkers, ammunition bunkers and residential bunkers connected by a tunnel system. It's possible to visit the command bunker (S414), four and two ammunition bunkers (Fl246). The S414 command bunker is three stories high and today is the entrance of the Atlantikwall Museum The heavy gun bunkers (S.K.) not only housed four 155mm guns, but were also used as living quarters. Supplies for the canons came from the ammunition bunkers (Fl246), which were connected by a tunnel containing a narrow gauge railway.
