    Visit the Fort of Breendonk!
    The National Memorial of Fort Breendonk is one of the best preserved testimonies of the Nazi horror during the Second World War.


    During a haunting visit you will discover the dark history of SS-Auffanglager Breendonk. From the chilly dormitories and the forced labor yard to the torture chamber and execution site, the entire site breathes the horror the prisoners endured under German rule.

    On the basis of testimonials, photos and film material, you will also become acquainted with those who suffered and died here for our freedom.
