Hanstholm fortress, History museum in Thisted Municipality, Denmark.

The fortress complex includes multiple underground bunkers, concrete walls, artillery positions, and military installations spread across the coastal defense system.

German forces constructed this massive coastal fortification between 1940 and 1945 as a crucial component of the Atlantic Wall defense network.

The museum exhibitions present wartime artifacts, photographs, documents, and personal accounts that illustrate daily life during the occupation period.

The museum features guided tours in multiple languages, a dedicated parking area, a museum shop, and specialized programs for educational groups.

The site contains the largest preserved German World War II coastal battery in Northern Europe, with original 38-centimeter naval guns.
