Site Lange Max, Military museum and war memorial in Koekelare, Belgium
The Lange Max Museum preserves the remains of a German artillery platform featuring the largest cannon deployed during World War I in 1917.
The German military constructed the Pommern battery site in Koekelare to launch bombing operations against targets in Dunkirk and Ypres during 1917.
The museum exhibits document the German occupation period in Koekelare through artifacts, photographs, and multimedia presentations in four different languages.
The museum complex includes on-site parking facilities, a cafeteria serving local specialties, and audio guides available in Dutch, English, and German.
Winston Churchill, Woodrow Wilson, and Emperor Hirohito visited this former battlefield site during the period between World Wars I and II.
