Grenen bunkers & Bunker Museum
Bunkermuseet Skagen
Coastal bunkers left by the German Atlantic Wall, half-buried in sand, one of which has been turned into a bunker museum.
During the Second World War, German forces built a large number of bunkers in Skagen as part of the Atlantic Wall, guarding the entrance to the Skagerrak strait. Many now lie scattered across the beaches and dunes between the Grey Lighthouse and Grenen. Some have been tilted by the waves or half-buried in sand, making them distinctive photo spots. The bunker museum near the lighthouse lets you enter an underground command bunker and learn about the wartime defence system and Skagen's occupation. Take care when visiting the bunkers and do not climb damaged structures. You can visit them together with the Grey Lighthouse and Grenen.
Opening hours
Beach bunkers open all day; museum open approx. May–Oct
