Museumbunker Leusden in six by three-and-a-half metres

A German bunker on the Grebbelinie contains panels on the war and liberation, while the canal and defence-line dike outside make the wider story visible.

Plan your visit ↗

Thick walls, small space

The interior space is compact, and the walls are about two metres thick. Look at the entrance, sightlines and protection, and consider what function the structure's form reveals.

Panels and Canadian liberators

Information panels cover 1944–1945; QR codes offer an English translation and give attention to Canadian liberators. For specific names and dates, check the source given.

The defence line lies outside

The Valleikanaal, the dike and the former camp site make the surroundings an additional open-air part of the story. Keep to accessible paths, and do not treat the landscape as mere backdrop without function.

Before you go

Open only from 1 April to 31 October, daily 10.00–16.00; the bunker is not wheelchair accessible.
