Passchendaele Museum, Military museum and documentation center in Zonnebeke, Belgium.
Passchendaele Museum is a military museum and documentation center in Zonnebeke located on the grounds of an old château. It displays weapons, uniforms, personal items, and photographs from World War I across several exhibition rooms.
The museum was founded in 2004 to document the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917, one of the bloodiest battles of the war. It preserves the memory of this event and the people involved in it.
The name Passchendaele comes from the village that was destroyed during the war and later rebuilt. The place has become a space where families and former soldiers gather to remember their loss.
The museum is open daily and easy to reach with parking available near the entrance. The place is wheelchair accessible and visitors should wear comfortable shoes, especially if exploring the outdoor areas.
The museum features reconstructed underground soldier bunkers where visitors can experience how troops lived in harsh conditions. On the grounds there is also a long outdoor trail with authentic trenches built using original materials from the era.
