Atlantikwall Museum Scheveningen

Atlantikwall Museum Scheveningen is a defense museum in the Netherlands centered on a preserved German bunker system from World War II. The complex contains various underground chambers, including a command post, crew quarters, and storage areas filled with original military equipment and furnishings.

The bunker complex, known as Widerstandsnest 318, was built as a strategic strongpoint along the extensive coastal fortification system during German occupation. It was part of a large-scale defense network that stretched across hundreds of kilometers along the European coast.

The site preserves traces of daily life during occupation, showing how soldiers lived and worked in these spaces. The surviving rooms let visitors understand the human side of this military installation.

Access is through group tours with audio guides in several languages, lasting about 90 minutes and moving through the entire bunker system. It is wise to book ahead since visitor numbers are limited and the underground spaces can feel cramped.

One crew quarters room was intentionally left unchanged after occupation and preserves objects in their original locations. This frozen moment provides a rare view into the unaltered living spaces of soldiers.
