Located outside of St-Omer in the Eperlecques Forest, the blockhouse was the largest concrete bunker engineered by the Germans in World War II. It was originally planned to be a complete fuel production, V2 rocket assembly and launching facility capable of launching 100 V2s a day. It was eventually abandoned for safety reasons. A multi-lingual audiovisual presentation at locations in and around the blockhouse guide visitors through the site explaining the background and history at each stage. The site is now a memorial to peace.
