Bunker Parukářka, Nuclear shelter under Parukářka hill in Žižkov, Prague, Czech Republic

Bunker Parukářka is an underground complex beneath the hill of sv. Kříž, under Parukářka park in Žižkov. Five access corridors and two ventilation towers, usable also as emergency exits, lead into it. The complex has its own electricity and water supply and air-handling equipment.

The complex was built between 1950 and 1955 beneath the hill of sv. Kříž under Parukářka park, designed to shelter about 2,500 people. Five access tunnels and two ventilation towers, usable as emergency exits, lead inside, and the bunker has its own electricity, water and air-handling systems. Part of it is still kept ready for about 1,500 people.

About a tenth of the complex is rented out: a music club occupies part of the bunker, alongside a climbing wall and a museum in the former shelter rooms. The club's premises sit in the underground spaces of the sv. Kříže hill below Parukářka park.

The bunker is accessible by public transport and located near Parukářka Park. Wear comfortable shoes for navigating the multiple levels and the descent through the spiral staircase.

The entrance features two heavy steel doors that visitors must pass through before descending the long spiral staircase into the depths. This multi-stage security approach was typical of military shelters built during that era.
