Country estate iCOON

The bunker in which the iCOON museum is located is a German bunker of the type FL246. The official function description is "Munitionsauffüllraum für schwere Flakbatterie", which indicates that it is a bunker for storing ammunition for anti-aircraft guns.
Construction of this bunker began in October 1942. Among other things, 1,500 cubic meters of concrete were used during construction. The bunker was the main ammunition storage facility of the former Marine-Flak-Batterie "Nordmole", which was located in the Voorduin. This anti-aircraft battery had 4 pieces of 10.5 cm caliber anti-aircraft guns. The guns were installed in concrete bunkers that were equipped with steel domes. Although these bunkers had their own small supply of ammunition that was stored in the bunkers themselves, when the anti-aircraft guns were used intensively, the supply of ammunition had to be replenished from the FL246. This was most likely done by truck or cart with horse traction. For the FL246 a loading and unloading place was made for trucks or carts. These vehicles could come close to the gun bunkers via a special road that was built through the Voorduin.
