Bunker 599, Military bunker at Diefdijk, Culemborg, Netherlands.
The concrete structure rises four meters tall along the Diefdijk, featuring reinforced walls designed to withstand artillery attacks from potential invaders.

The bunker exemplifies Dutch military engineering principles through its systematic design, incorporating both defense capabilities and integration with water management systems.
Located 550 meters north of the A2 highway near Zijderveld, visitors can observe the exterior structure while exploring the surrounding defensive line installations.
