Bronsdaelgroeve, War memorial in Valkenburg aan de Geul, Netherlands.
The Bronsdaelgroeve complex contains limestone caves with reinforced corridors and concrete floors, spreading across 13,000 square meters of workshop space.
In March 1944, Organisation Todt transformed these caves into repair facilities for BMW bomber engines, employing forced laborers until American forces captured the area.
The memorial serves as a reflection point for visitors to understand the impact of World War II on Dutch society and the local resistance movement.
Visitors can reach the memorial through Geulweg road, northwest of Geulhem, where designated pathways lead to the underground complex entrance.
The facility includes a preserved narrow-gauge railway system that connected engine repair workshops to testing facilities in nearby Meerssen.
