Sint Pietersberg kunstbunker, Underground wartime art bunker in Sint Pieter, Netherlands.
The Sint Pietersberg kunstbunker features concrete walls measuring 50 centimeters thick and lies 35 meters beneath the surface within limestone caves.
During World War II, from 1942 to 1945, this bunker protected 800 paintings from the Rijksmuseum collection, including works by Rembrandt and Vermeer.
The bunker represents Dutch determination to preserve national art treasures, storing rolled canvases and protected masterpieces in specialized climate conditions.
The facility remains accessible through guided tours, requiring advance reservations through the visitor center located at Luikerweg 80 in Maastricht.
Radio station Margriet operated clandestinely from the bunker during the war, with equipment concealed behind stored paintings.
