built by the Germans between 1941 and 1943. Long neglected, it has now become a pool of light. after having served in the war it is now a center dedicated to culture.

The submarine bunker Bordeaux[1] (French Base sous-marine de Bordeaux) was a protected submarine base of the German and Italian naval forces in Bordeaux, southern France, during World War II. The base was subordinate to the German commander of the U-boat fleet Karl Dönitz.

After the war, the submarine bunkers proved impervious to demolition due to their massive, reinforced construction. Since 2010, after the conversion a few years ago, around 12,000 m² of the 42,000 m² building has been open to the public as a cultural center for performing arts, exhibitions and evening events.

Due to the increasing threat to the base from Allied air raids, Admiral Dönitz decided in the summer of 1941 to build a submarine bunker for the base in Bordeaux. Construction began in September 1941. The bunker was built of reinforced concrete. It is 245 m wide, 162 m long and 19 m high, with a roof 5.6 m thick over the submarine bays and 3.6 m thick over the aft maintenance area.

On October 15, 1942, the German 12th U-boat flotilla was set up in Bordeaux by the Kriegsmarine under the command of Lieutenant Commander Klaus Scholtz. The first German submarine to use the bunker was U 178 on January 17, 1943.
