A little news from the start of 2018

On Saturday the 7th of October, we excavated a bunker in Hanstholm in cooperation with the Occupation History Society (BSTH). The bunker is located on Helshagevej in Hanstholm and accommodated a 10.5 cm cannon and its crew. The bunker is of the type Regelbau Fl 243.

We chose to excavate this bunker because we have not previously excavated a bunker of this type and the types drawings we know of differ a lot.

The excavation of the crew bunker yielded no spectacular results, but we learned a lot of new things.

In the Autumn of 2015, the museum made a rare find when it excavated a bunker on the field east of Hansted Church.

The old munitiontrain runs every day during the Easter holiday april 8^th – april 17^th

We are ready to open the museum for season 2017
