Kemmel command bunker, Military museum and Cold War bunker in Heuvelland, Belgium
The Command Bunker Kemmel consists of a concrete cube measuring 30 by 30 meters, containing operational facilities beneath a small house concealing the entrance.
Built in 1954 as a NATO nerve center, this underground facility coordinated Western European air forces and aerial defenses until its final military exercise in 1995.
The Operation Room displays extensive military maps and symbols, representing the strategic planning conducted by the 600 personnel who operated in rotating shifts.
Visitors can purchase tickets at the Tourist Office in Kemmel and follow a forest path between two meadows to reach the entrance of this military installation.
The bunker remained classified for decades, generating local speculation about its purpose, including theories about underground nuclear devices stored within its walls.
