Cold War Museum Stevnsfort and its collection

Cold War Museum Stevnsfort
Source

Stevnsfortet, nestled between Rødvig and Højerup, is a unique Cold War relic carved into the Stevns Klint. The fort was strategically positioned to control the southern entrance to Øresund, a critical waterway in the region. This historical significance adds a layer of intrigue for visitors, offering a glimpse into the strategic considerations of the Cold War era.

History and Transformation of Stevnsfortet

Constructed during the height of the Cold War between 1950 and 1953, Stevnsfortet served its purpose until it was decommissioned in 2000. However, its historical significance was recognized, and it was reopened as the Cold War Museum Stevnsfort under Østsjællands Museum on July 1, 2008. This transition from a functional fort to a museum allows visitors to explore the fort's history and its role during the Cold War.
