Museum of Coastal Defence, Poland, Military museum in Hel, Poland.
The Museum of Coastal Defence occupies former German military structures, including a B2 gun emplacement and a nine-story fire control tower on the Hel Peninsula.
The museum buildings were part of the Schleswig-Holstein battery, which contained three 406mm coastal guns capable of firing one-ton shells across 56 kilometers in 1941.
The exhibitions present the history of Polish naval forces, featuring Commander Zbigniew Przybyszewski's room and displays about the Marine Aviation Squadron in Puck.
The fire control tower provides observation points of the peninsula and sea, while each floor contains different exhibitions about artillery, military communications, and naval history.
This facility houses Poland's largest collection of grenades and displays an original 406mm missile weighing 1030 kilograms alongside military equipment and shells.
