Koldkrigsmuseet Regan Vest

About

The main attraction is the REGAN Vest bunker facility, which is hidden 60 meters beneath a limestone hill and was constructed secretly in the 1960s. It was designed to accommodate the government, officials, and the reigning monarch in case of a nuclear war – totaling approximately 350 people. The 5,500 square metres bunker remains untouched and is fully furnished with all original interior intact. The entrance is concealed by a yellow brick villa. This is where the master machinist lived, who had daily oversight of the bunker. The villa is furnished as it could have appeared in the 1980s, allowing visitors to explore the family’s home and experience daily life during the Cold War. In addition to the bunker and master machinist’s house, the Cold War Museum REGAN Vest consists of a new building with a café and exhibitions that narrate Denmark’s history during the Cold War.
