    The interesting Kazemattenmuseum near the Kornwerderzand is located on the Afsluitdijk. In May 1940, 225 Dutch soldiers were able to stop about 17,000 Germans here. Experience history here.

      On Kornwerderzand at the end of the Afsluitdijk are the famous casemates, mostly hidden under sand. The time before and after May 1940 is relived within the meter-thick walls: the story of mobilization and life in and around the casemates is told in six casemates.

      The German Blitzkrieg was stopped at this unique location, supported by the Navy. The sleeping quarters, the switchboard, the shelf kitchen and an extensive collection of weapons can be viewed here.

        The museum mainly deals with the Battle of Afsluitdijk in May 1940. It contains several kazemats that are also accessible.

          A beautiful museum, where a film is also shown with the voices of the veterans who protected the Afsluitdijk during WWII.
          Impressive!
