In Huisduinen, a former Nazi administration building now houses the Atlantic Wall Center. Here you can discover how the war left its mark on Den Helder and far beyond.
Stories from the past
The exhibition lets you experience the rise and operation of the Atlantic Wall step by step. From its construction to daily life in occupied territory, personal stories make it tangible.
History in a special building
The center is housed in a building dating from 1942, possibly designed by Albert Speer. After years of decay, it has been restored and transformed into an educational center with lasting impact.
Regionally connected
Besides the history of Den Helder, the center also focuses on the Atlantic Wall in the Wadden Sea area. The website features other locations related to this line.
