Munitiecomplex Norg, Military ammunition storage facility in Veenhuizen, Netherlands.
Munitiecomplex Norg is a military storage facility in the Netherlands with 191 specialized bunkers designed to house ammunition and military equipment across its grounds. The bunkers are spread across the site following strict security protocols to protect the stored materials.
The facility was planned following strategic considerations in the 1970s and construction began in 1998 to meet regional defense requirements. This project grew from military security planning in Northern Europe.
The complex operates under a joint-service structure, integrating personnel from the army, navy, and air force in their daily operations.
The complex has its own fire brigade on site and can request additional help from surrounding communities when needed. Visitors should be aware that this is a restricted security zone with limited access.
The site ranks among Western Europe's largest ammunition storage operations and maintains an on-site workshop for ammunition testing and modification. This workshop allows for complex technical work to be carried out directly at the location.
