Boulevard Evertsen and Seekommandant Südholland

The Boulevard Evertsen runs parallel to a small bay. The dike ends here at the “Nollehoofd”, a landmark recognizable by the pipes of a wind organ. The wind organ is installed on top of a type 623 machinegun bunker with crew quarters and an ammunition magazine. The gun slit and the defensive wall stand out clearly. The machinegun covered the beach towards the southeast in front of the boulevard. Behind it used to be a similar bunker that fired towards the northwest, but it was destroyed when the sea wall was breached by Allied bombing in 1944. The Seekommandant Südholland [naval commander for the southern Netherlands] had established his headquarters in Hotel Brittania on the boulevard. His command bunker was a type FL241 with an observation post. The position included two shelters (types 501 and 502), an ammunition bunker (type 134) and two additional shelters (types 501 and 668) in the northwest.
