Tirpitz bunkers, World War II bunker complex in Blåvand, Denmark.
Two massive concrete fortifications emerge from sand dunes along the North Sea coast, featuring gun emplacements designed for heavy naval artillery.
Construction of these defensive structures began in July 1944 as part of the Atlantic Wall, intended to protect against Allied invasions during World War II.
The bunkers represent Denmark's occupation period, now transformed into an underground museum displaying wartime artifacts and personal stories from both sides of the conflict.
Visitors can explore the southern bunker through guided tours, accessing multiple exhibition spaces that showcase military equipment and historical documents from the 1940s.
The bunkers were designed to house 38-centimeter ship cannons originally developed for the Bismarck-class battleships, though these weapons were never installed.
