Seyss-Inquart's bunker, Apeldoorn

This concrete underground command bunker measures 35 meters in length and 13.25 meters in width, featuring a bedroom, bath, shower, and telephone exchange.

Arthur Seyss-Inquart, Reich Commissioner of Nazi-occupied Netherlands, relocated his office from The Hague to this villa in Apeldoorn during February 1944.

Between 1948 and 1956, the Foundation 1940-1945 opened the bunker to visitors, displaying caricatures created by artists on its walls.

The bunker underwent extensive restoration from 2017 to 2019 to prevent water infiltration and now accepts group visits through advance reservations.

After Germany's capitulation, Seyss-Inquart fled the premises, leaving behind all the bunker's contents, which remained completely intact.
