For years, the Administration Building or ‘Old Casino’ in Huisduinen was a controversial reminder of the war history of the city of Den Helder. But now that this period is further behind us, new impulses are coming to keep the memory of this meaningful period in our history alive. In the elongated exhibition space the visitor can get acquainted with the chronological course of the Second World War, the geography and form of the Atlantic Wall and stories and events from the war history.
