The Atlantikwall Museum Noordwijk is a museum located in a German bunker complex in the dunes north of Noordwijk. It has almost half a kilometre of corridors. These corridors connect the various bunkers. The largest bunker, which housed the fire control, has been restored and refurbished as much as possible as a fire leader.

Atlantikwall Museum

At the Atlantic Wall Museum, you can get an idea of life in the bunkers during the war and how the Germans transformed the European coast into a fortress. There is a museum bunker that you can visit independently with a ticket. An audio tour tells the story of the Atlantic Wall. For children, there is a special audio tour. You can also book a tour where you will visit the corridor system with a guide.
