Torpedobunker IJmuiden, Military bunker in IJmuiden, Netherlands.
The Torpedobunker features reinforced concrete walls measuring 2.5 meters in thickness and a 3-meter-thick roof designed for maximum protection.
Built in 1941 by Organisation Todt, this structure served as a torpedo storage facility connected to Schnellbootbunker 1 through narrow-gauge railway tracks.
The structure transformed from a military installation to a band practice space in 1978, marking a shift from defense purposes to musical activities.
Concrete blocks weighing 26 tons rest above each entrance door, demonstrating the engineering methods used for rapid fortification during wartime.
The bunker retains its original wartime code designation 5606 and contains visible remnants of the railway tracks that connected it to the harbor.
