Bunker Parukářka, Cold War nuclear bunker in Žižkov, Czech Republic
Bunker Parukářka is an underground structure in Žižkov featuring two ventilation towers and a spiral staircase that descends into the depths. Multiple interconnected chambers lie below ground, arranged to create separate spaces within the complex.
Built during the 1950s as a defensive shelter against nuclear threats, the structure served a strategic role during the Cold War. It was designed to protect military operations and personnel during potential conflict scenarios.
The former military facility now serves as a venue where electronic and industrial music fills the underground chambers. Visitors experience how this Cold War relic has been transformed into a gathering place for musicians and fans of experimental sound.
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.
